BG parks offer Holiday Nature Crafts Workshop
The Bowling Green Parks and Recreation Department will host its annual Holiday Nature Crafts Workshop on Dec. 3 at the Wintergarden/St. John’s Nature Preserve.
Preschool and elementary-age children (3-11 years) will make various nature crafts to decorate their house or give as gifts this holiday season. This program offers two sessions: session 1 (9-10:30 a.m.) or session 2 (10:30 a.m.-noon). Treats for toasting over the fire will also be provided.
The program is free with registration. Register online at https://bit.ly/BGPRNature or call 419-354-6223.
Homeownership assistance program funds available now
Purchasing an affordable home may be out of reach for some Bowling Green residents at lower income levels. A CDBG-funded program can help with this issue.
The city’s Direct Homeownership Assistance Program makes affordable homeownership possible for households often overcome by housing cost burden.
The program is designed to assist creditworthy persons with lower incomes by reducing their mortgage principal amount, paying reasonable closing costs, and/or required up-front private mortgage insurance premiums. In most cases the mortgage principal reduction will satisfy the lender’s down payment requirement.
Applicants must qualify through a traditional lender. Assistance is provided in the form of a supplemental subordinate loan for part of the purchase price with zero (0%) interest. The loan is forgiven after two years.
Applicant(s) must complete the application process, and adhere to all program policies to be eligible. For more information contact Matthew Jay Snow at the City of Bowling Green’s Community Development Division, 419-354-6221 or [email protected].
