This morning on WCLK's The Local Take(Saturdays 8am) I speak with Mt. Calvary Holy Church of America Bishop Sherman Scott from the Cobb Ministerial Alliance about their upcoming Cobb Cares- A Day of Financial Empowerment, taking place in Marietta on Saturday, October 26th 8am - 5pm at Cobb Civic Center, 548 South Marietta Parkway, SE Marietta, GA 30060.
Bishop Scott speaks about home ownership in our community where affordable housing is a challenge. He endorses home ownership as a way to build family wealth.
Bishop Scott also speaks about credit scores and how maintaining good credit allows you to save money across the board on everything from insurance to a mortgage. He shares information about partner agencies that will be on hand to work with participants. They will work with each person to assist with obtaining jobs, creating a budget, and obtaining the financial literacy needed to make their lives better.
