PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The city of Pittsfield's Homeless Advisory Committee is sponsoring its fourth Housing Resource Fair that will be held at the Berkshire Athenaeum on Thursday, Jan. 9 between 10 to noon. 

 

The fair will offer a variety of resources and assistance to those in the community who are seeking help with accessing stable and secure housing.

 

The event is free and open to the public. 

 

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet with representatives from local housing organizations and agencies to learn about affordable housing options and receive information on resources for rental assistance. Participating agencies include Upside 413, Second Street Second Chances, Hearthway, Elder Services, The Christian Center,

AdLib, and Central Berkshire Habitat for Humanity.

 

Kim Borden, chair of the Homeless Advisory Committee, says the committee is building on the success of previous fairs.

 

"The resource fairs bring the community together and provide a space where organizations that provide housing opportunities can engage one on one with residents who are seeking housing and other supports," she said.
