Thank you to all who responded to my cries for help.
Although the long term plan for housing is VOTING!! So please vote whenever you
can.
I work with the short term affects of the housing crisis.
This is what SSEF is doing now:
We have hired someone for 15 hours a week to help our families check their
credit score and find housing. We are forming partnerships whenever we can.All
organizations that help with housing are overwhelmed at the moment.
We have set up a housing fund and are asking for contributioins to:
Defray the risk for cosigners by guarenteeing them $10,000 if the renter
defaults
The monies will be assessed in two years and either put in the summer fund or
keep it in housing if there continunies to be need.
We have raised $18,000- our goal is $50,000 ($10,000 allocated for 5 cosigners-
we have 3 so far)
A donation to the housing project would be very helpful as we help these
families find a place to call home.
Otherwise, the families will be on the street. Unbelievably on the street.
These are the working poor. Work one or two jobs and can't pay the rent. The
system is broken.
Please consider a donation SSEFBoston.org
