The expo will feature workshops and exhibits designed to educate attendees about getting and staying creditworthy, first-time buyer programs, rental assistance programs, Virginia’s mortgage relief program, senior housing options, and more. Upon arrival, visitors will be able to sign up for a financial coaching session with a trained volunteer from Britepaths, a Fairfax County nonprofit.
