Clark County Commissioner Lawrence Weekly is hosting a homeownership seminar for everyone in his district on Saturday, February 18.

The Helping Your Dream Become a Reality seminar will be at the West Las Vegas Library from 10 a.m. to noon. It will feature guest speakers who will give people an understanding of how to buy a home. There will also be staff from Consumer Credit Counseling Services along with realtors and bankers. Information booths will be set up for people to follow up with specific questions.

“Homeownership is still the American dream,” Commissioner Weekly said. “This event will bring potential homeowners together with the agencies and people who can help them make that dream a reality.”

The event is free. People are encouraged to arrive early so they are able to speak with everyone that they want to talk with.
