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

  • The office is at 1650 Arch Street, Suite 2701, open 9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday.
  • Workshops are for groups such as organizations, churches, clubs, and schools.
  • The site lists no parking, transit, or accessibility details, so ask before you visit.
