PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The City of Pittsfield's Homeless Advisory Committee is sponsoring a Housing Resource Fair. 

 

The fair will be held at Berkshire Dream Center, 475 Tyler Street on Thursday, Oct. 9, between 10:00 a.m. 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, learn about affordable housing options, and receive information on resources for rental assistance.
