Seeking independent or family support does not have to be a source of anxiety. With our staff of certified counselors, we offer an array of programs that will assist you in your specific situation.
Bankruptcy Counseling offers clients the opportunity to complete Pre- and Post-Filing Bankruptcy Counseling in a face-to-face session, by phone or online.
The Conservatorship Program provides financial management and protection of assets for individuals who need assistance to manage their estate and protect the estate from potential exploitation. Most individuals are appointed through the Probate Court Process, however, service is also provided for individuals who are referred by other interested and concerned entities.
The Representative Payee Program manages the day-to-day financial obligations for individuals who are on a fixed income of Social Security or Social Security Disability Benefits. Using the client's personal funds, the program handles payments for rent, utilities, food, and clothing to allow the individual to remain as functionally independent as possible.
The Homeownership Resource Center promotes homeownership for low- and moderate-income families and individuals in the community. The program includes a First Time Homebuyer Workshop, Credit Improvement Classes, Reverse Mortgage Counseling and Mortgage Default and Foreclosure Counseling.
