Vision Credit Education, Inc.

(Raleigh, NC) The Hollenden Place community will host another Ready to Rent workshop the week of April 20-23, 2009. Vision Credit will provide the three hour credit workshop on Tuesday, April 21, 2009.

The Ready to Rent workshop series is a collaboration between the Supportive Housing Program of Wake County Human Services and the various community groups that host these events. Each workshop series consists of four individual workshops of three hours each.

Participants will learn budgeting and savings tips. We will review the rights and responsibilities of both tenants and their landlords.

Vision Credit provides a three hour course that teaches the factors that make up credit scoring. Participants find out how their financial decisions impact their credit scores as well as methods for improving those scores.

The purpose of these workshops is to help families with credit challenges pass landlord credit checks as well as to maintain a positive rental history. Individuals and families with  prior evictions or other negative credit records that have experienced difficulty gaining rental approval are encouraged to join the Ready to Rent program.

Time:

6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
