A Free COTS-Sponsored Conference for Homeowners and Tenants Facing Financial Difficulties 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, May 7 (lunch provided/childcare for kids ages 3 and over provided) San Antonio High School 500 Vallejo Street Petaluma, CA.

A host of experts will be available to discuss options to solve financial problems:  dealing with debt (including bankruptcy, payment plans and debt consolidation); guerilla budgeting (finding money where you didn’t know you had it and slashing expenses you didn’t know you could cut); increasing income by home-sharing; identifying public resources for which you may qualify; reducing stress and finding support.

Participants will also be able to meet with HUD-certified housing counselors, who will be able to help you assess your situation and your options. Our counselors are bilingual in Spanish and English. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one for an hour with a budgeting counselor to map out their expenses and debts and create a strategic plan to address some or all of their debts. Those wishing an appointment with a counselor must complete an application (available in Spanish and English) and make an appointment.
