Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Call the hotline at 215-334-4663 if you are behind on a mortgage or property tax, or email cedphilly@uac.org to ask for a free money workshop for your group..
Check with the group before you show up.
What to expect
The hotline is for homeowners who are behind on a mortgage or property tax, facing foreclosure, or dealing with a tangled title. The site does not say what happens after the call, beyond pointing to an online intake form at Philadelphia Legal Assistance. A money workshop is set up for a group, which picks the topic and dates and provides the room. Individuals who need one-on-one help are referred to other services.
Tips for your first visit
