Housing Counseling Saves Homes. Why Is It Getting Harder to Help Families?
Housing counseling is more than a program, it is a lifeline for individuals and families facing foreclosure, eviction, and financial uncertainty. Yet at a time when the need for these services remains critical, nonprofit housing counseling agencies are facing significant funding challenges that threaten our ability to continue this important work.
CCCS Executive Director Donna Rasmussen recently addressed these concerns in an Op-Ed published by The Woodstock Independent. Drawing on more than 44 years of CCCS's experience serving our community, she shares what these funding decisions mean for housing counseling agencies, and, more importantly, for the people who depend on them.
We invite you to read the article below and learn why protecting access to nonprofit housing counseling matters to all of us.
