Norm's Blog: Day Two: Part one - Consumer Credit Counselling Service, San Francisco.

21 September 2011
Norm's Blog: Day Two: Part one - Consumer Credit Counselling Service, San Francisco.The first of my site visits was today, Tuesday over here, in a very sunny and warm San Francisco.

Today I went to meet Rashad Burroughs, (pictured with me) the Program Services Manager, of Housing Education Program - a division of the Consumer Credit Counseling Service of San Francisco (CCCSSF).

CCCSSF deliver over the phone financial counseling to people from all over the United States along with face to face sessions in San Francisco, and a number of community financial education workshops.

I meet with Rashad and a number of his team who were very gracious in answering my questions about the social, political and legislative context of what they do in terms of counseling and financial education.

There was lots to digest from what I learnt here in order to distill some key points we can use in our work in Mission Australia. Below are some links to CCCSSF’s websites for some further information.
