Financial Literacy With the Goal of Home Ownership

Dear Friends:

Due to strong support from our community during the past 10 years, Marin Family Action has been able to turn around thousands of lives by guiding families away from financial stress to fiscal responsibility. The long term goal is home ownership which leads to stability for individuals and for our towns.

Financial literacy is not taught in California schools. Many people are in trouble financially simply because they lack rudimentary budgeting skills: Our goal is to bridge that gap. Our workshops, website and literature help develop the confidence individuals need to make sound decisions and move forward comfortably with control rather than living a stressful life.

Financial acumen is needed now more than ever yet it is not taught in California schools.  Many people are in trouble financially simply because they lack rudimentary budgeting skills. Our workshops, website and literature help develop the confidence individuals need to make sound decisions and move forward comfortably with control rather than living a stressful life.

Marin Family Action serves 4,800 families per year directly.  Each year, more than 2,000 schoolchildren and adults successfully complete Marin Family Action’s financial literacy workshops.  Everyone benefits from intelligent financial decisions.  Also, MarinFamilyAction.org receives an average of 37,764 visitors from people all over the United States

Thank you in advance for your time and attention.

Sincerely,

Manny Fernandez, Executive Director

The Administration’s foreclosure programs are providing relief for millions of homeowners as we continue to recover from an unprecedented housing crisis. More than 5.7 million modification arrangements were started between April 2009 and the end of January 2012 – including nearly 1.8 million trial modification starts through the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) and more than 1.2 million FHA loss mitigation and early delinquency interventions. The Administration’s programs continue to encourage improved standards and processes in the industry, with HOPE Now lenders offering families and individuals more than 2.7 million proprietary mortgage modifications through January.
