Sacramento Regional Partners in Homeownership Present 
11th Annual Homeownership Fair 2007 
“Opening the Doors to Homeownership in Sacramento” 
Sacramento, Calif., (May 25, 2007) - The Sacramento Regional Partners in Homeownership 
invites the public to attend the free 11th Annual Homeownership Fair on Saturday, June 23, 2007. 
The event takes place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Sacramento Association of Realtors 
Auditorium, 2003 Howe Avenue, Sacramento. The Opening Ceremony will take place at 9 a.m. 
The Homeownership Fair features dozens of industry exhibitors and free bilingual classes geared 
for visitors who are thinking of becoming a homeowner, having problems making payments or loan 
payment about to increase, facing foreclosure or a high mortgage payment from an interest-only or 
subprime loan. 
Classes include information on how to become a first time homebuyer, including the buying 
process and terms, down payment assistance, credit reports and scoring, how to avoid tempting 
loans that can cause serious trouble for borrowers, and tips on home energy efficiency and smart 
money management. Prospective homebuyers will be able to talk one-on-one with professionals 
in real estate, lending, credit counseling, government housing agencies and private housing 
advocates, insurance, title companies, and many more! 
The WISH (Workforce Initiative Subsidy for Homeownership) program is available this year 
through the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. The program provides a matching grant 
(based on client’s share) for down payment and closing cost assistance to qualified first time 
homebuyers who attend the fair. This program is designed to help households in high-cost areas 
purchase homes. Eligible clients must complete homeownership education classes through 
Home Loan Counseling Center of Sacramento. 
The Sacramento Regional Partners Homeownership Fair is the most complete one-stop 
opportunity to find out everything potential homebuyers need to know to unlock the door to their
