Holy Family Hosts Mortgage Crisis Workshop
The latest workshop, which took place Sunday at Canarsie's Holy Family Church, addressed the question: How Does the Mortgage Crisis Affect You and Your Neighborhood? Organized by Catholic Charities and featuring speakers from various groups, participants received a few tips on how to refinance and find the best loans, as well as hints on reaching agreements with lenders. Catholic Charities officials said that, although the workshops are held in churches, you don't have to go to church to get help. They have programs going so that, along with ACORN - Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - they are reaching out to the entire community. Elected officials from the local community praised the churches for their contributions and for recommending local non-profit agencies to also help out.
