CCCS-OC Receives $35,000 from Bank of America

Bank of America recently awarded $35,000 to Consumer Credit Counseling of Orange County, with a focus on housing, in an effort to revitalize the local community and help stimulate national economic recovery.

The grant will help fund direct counseling, education and outreach costs for our program called "Help Consumers Enter or Re-Enter the Financial Mainstream" that targets marginalized, struggling consumers in Orange County to help them transition into and/or return to financial stability via a holistic approach.

The population to be served falls into three tiers: 1) those who are unbanked and/or new to credit and finances, 2) those damaged by excessive debt/poor credit/bankruptcy/foreclosure/poor ChexSystems records, and 3) those preparing for homeownership.

Consumers in each tier are matched by need with services as follows:
  • Tier 1: Banking Basics, Wise Use of Credit, Intensive Budget Counseling, Tax Awareness, Organizing Financial Paperwork, Renters' Rights and Responsibilities, Supermarket Survival, Surviving Unemployment, and others as needed
  • Tier 2: Balancing Personal Finances, Debt Management Counseling, Credit Report/Score Review, CheckWise Checking Account Rehabilitation, Financial Fitness, Identity Theft, Money in Marriage, Life After Bankruptcy, and others as needed
