Dover library to host housing program

Matt and Audra Karam will present a program on the New Philadelphia Housing Plan at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, May 7, at Dover Public Library.

During the free informational session, the Karams will explain how the housing plan works, who may qualify to purchase a home and steps potential homeowners can take to prepare for buying. Organizers said the goal is to provide clear, accessible information without sales pressure.

The New Philadelphia Housing Plan began when the Tuscarawas County Economic Development Corp. identified a lack of adequate housing as a barrier to business growth and community expansion. The initiative has since developed into a countywide public-private partnership aimed at helping families move toward homeownership through guidance and local connections.

The program will be held in the library’s community room at 525 N. Walnut St. To register, visit doverlibrary.org/events or call 330-343-6123.
