Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement Fair Lending Task Force Meets January 20th (and other meetings of interest)ICCI
The first meeting of CCI's Fair Lending Task Force will be Thursday, January 20th at 6:00 pm.
This new task force will combine members who have been working and winning on predatory mortgage lending and the Community Reinvestment Act. These issues both deal with getting lenders to make good loans in our neighborhoods. By doing this we are improving our neighborhoods and the financial future of our communities. All CCI members are invited to join us as we begin a new era in the fight for fair lending.
CCI's Fast Track is a home ownership workshop meeting on Thursday, January 20th from 5:30-9:30 pm.
This overview of the home ownership process is ideal for future buyers who have minimal credit and budgeting issues and who want to learn how to take the best steps and avoid predatory practices. The workshop is free and free childcare is provided with two days notice.
The Fast Track class is located at Des Moines Citizens for Community Improvement, 2005 Forest Avenue. To register, call Jerri at 515-255-0800.
