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

 

The fair will be at Persip Park, located at 175 North Street, on Thursday, Sept. 7 from 10:00 a.m. to noon.

In the event of rain, the fair will be held at the same location and time on Thursday, Sept. 14.

 

The event is free and open to the public.

Participating agencies include ServiceNet, Berkshire County Regional Housing, Second Street Second Chances, Elder Services, The Christian Center, Berkshire Housing and the Pittsfield Housing Authority.

 

"The purpose of the fair is to bring together community organizations and the residents they serve to create meaningful community connections and provide support for those in need, building on the success of the first Housing Resource Fair held earlier this year at the Berkshire Atheneum," said Kim Borden, Chair of the Homeless Advisory Committee.
