The Veterans Housing and Home Buying Workshops are returning to the Forest Park Vet Center in 2025! These monthly workshops provide veterans in the Chicagoland area with essential resources and up-to-date information on home buying, credit repair, renting, real estate investing, and transitioning from homelessness.

Held on the 3rd Thursday of each month from January to October, the workshops offer expert guidance from lenders, Military Relocation Professionals, credit specialists, and attorneys. A continental breakfast is provided, and veterans are encouraged to stay for a live Q&A session after each workshop.
