Homework Club gets gold star

18.05.12

Sixteen of the complex’s families are considered extremely low-income households and earn about $26,800 a year.

Mollianna Graff is a mother of two and waited to get into the apartment complex after escaping from what she said was a bad situation with her children’s father. She is one of 18 singleparent families at the complex.

Graff’s son, Michael Rivas, 10, is a student at University Preparation School, a charter school in Camarillo. Rivas walks to Homework Club after school with his sister, Ashlynn, to work with tutors on his reading. Graff said her son’s school lacks resources, but the club is a great alternative.

“Especially because I work a lot and can’t be driving them from club to club,” Graff said.

Graff said she has also seen her children become more confident because they help tutor the younger students.

“All these kids have been through rough situations,” Graff said. “It’s a great program, and I hope they push it and keep it because it really does make a difference.

Residents protest slum housing in Cape Breton

18.05.12

Dozens of people rallied in Sydney on Wednesday to call for a crackdown on slum landlords.

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, known as ACORN, wants the Cape Breton Regional Municipality to do more inspections of rental properties to make sure they're fit to live in.

Lucy Gouthro and her elderly mother were among the 40 people who joined the rally at the Civic Centre, clutching photos of her last apartment in North Sydney.

"The ceilings were falling down and the doors were falling off," Gouthro said of her mother's one-bedroom apartment, where she paid $500 a month.

"There was mice in there and rats, and I had to plug them up."

Members of ACRON said they have heard similar horror stories across the municipality, but in most cases, tenants are afraid to speak out for fear of eviction.

"Women, especially, that we deal with are desperate and they have nowhere else to turn," said Wanda Earhart, who works with Every Woman's Centre.

acorn housing?

May 08, 2007 by LOinVE | Posted in Renting & Real Estate

Has anybody heard of them? Used them? Or know somebody who has? We're fist time home owners, and need a little help-they seem legit and have alot to offer..anybody have an opinion on these kinds of programs?

I've met with them before, they are legit. They help with first time home buyers with mortgages and finding low income homes. They didn't ask for a fee, but there is a charge to become a member, but I don't know if its required.

Q.

ACORN Housing | Housing And Urban Development | GAO | The ...

by Matthew Boyle

The Obama administration has awarded more than $700,000 in taxpayer funds to AHCOA despite a 2010 law stipulating that no taxpayer funds could be awarded to ACORN “or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, or allied organizations. AHCOA formerly called itself ACORN Housing, but changed its name after the 2009 ACORN meltdown. The previously confidential internal audit report, from NeighborWorks America, shows that contrary to what the GAO and the Obama administration contend, AHCOA is far too close to ACORN to receive taxpayer funding....

(10 diggs) ACORN to House: Keep Your Money

Sep 18, 2009 from soughtout(Lynn Jones)

As my POLITICO colleague John Bresnahan reported a couple of days ago, ACORN's grass-roots revenue stream has always been the source of its independence (and power), so today's House vote to defund the group won't have a huge impact on its bottom line.
