Credit counseling workshops
The Housing Partnership of Chester County (HPCC) will be offering credit counseling workshops in the Burke Room at 10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.
Without good credit, it is nearly impossible to secure proper/stable housing, whether renting or purchasing. It can hinder you from securing a job and can impact the amount you pay for loans and insurance. During the workshop, HPCC will cover the basic principles that everyone should understand including how credit is reported, the credit bureaus, FICO scores, and how to improve your credit situation.
