Protection Against Recession

There is a real crisis going on in America.  Gas and food prices are going up, home foreclosures are increasing and American families are getting stuck in the mire of a very real, very devastating economic recession.

On September 20, I will be hosting a “Protection Against Recession” summit and workshop aimed at helping you learn to survive, sustain and manage your personal finances during these difficult economic times.

Counselors will be in attendance to provide group and private individual assistance on topics such as:

  • Buying a home

  • Fixing up your home

  • Saving your home

  •  Getting credit

  • Applying for health insurance

  • Finding utility help

  • Finding food assistance

  • Finding legal help

  • Getting insurance advice

  • Getting energy aid

  • Getting property & rent rebates

  • Paying your bills

  • Getting a job

  • Keeping a job

  • Starting a business

  • Protecting your business

  • Keeping your personal and financial information secure

  • And much more!

Pennsylvania is already on the cutting edge of the issue, with increases to funding for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), a key investment to guard against predatory lenders and home foreclosures, and innovative programs for energy conservation and efficiency.

I urge you to join me on September 20 at the School of the Future, 40th and Parkside Avenue, from 10 am – 2 pm to discuss these very important issues.  A recession affects the entire community and we must work together to ensure our economic stability during these difficult times.
