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, learn about affordable housing options, and receive information on resources for rental assistance. Participating agencies include ServiceNet, Second Street Second Chances, Elder Services, Upside413, Ad-Lib, and the Pittsfield Housing Authority.

The city’s Homeless Advisory Committee sponsors these resource fairs periodically at different locations in the city with the aim of connecting residents with local organizations.
