ELK GROVE - Homeowner's Solution Workshop will host a free "Know Your Options" informational event tonight from 5:30 - 8 p.m. at Elk Grove City Council Chamber, located at 8400 Laguna Palms Way.

The organization is made up of a group of real estate professionals, legal and tax advisors as well as HUD counselors donating their time to provide distressed homeowners with free information concerning the options they can exercise, rather than having their homes go into foreclosure. They will share the Fannie Mae website with homeowners who attend, as well as other government and financial options available.

The event is free and open to all residents and homewoners. For more information, visit http://knowyouroptions.com or http://makinghomeaffordable.gov.
