Lord, Your Grace....

Listened to this song from Fred Hammond this morning...
Lord Your grace
Covering me like a soft summer shower
Raining down on me
Goodness and mercy
Loving me daily
Forgiving me freely

Poor and afraid left out lost and alone
Til Your tender love came and made me your own
How could I make it and where would I be
Without Your grace, (undeserved favor) grace, grace

Where sin abounds grace abounds so much more
Covering me from the sun to the floor
And if I forget then the spirit of grace cries out
Peace
(And I remember)
Sweet peace

I am no longer a prisioner of shame for the truth is
I know that I am complete in Your grace

As I look back over all the years that I made it through
I can't imagine where I'd be now if it wasn't for You
Why Your favor rests upon me I could never explain
But I'm so glad that I cansay

Your grace in my life lasts forever
Your goodness and mercy and grace lasts forever
Your grace in my life lasts forever
And I'm so glad that I can say
Can I get a witness up in here??!!

First, a little background (from my perspective):  A few years ago over 80% of East Palo Alto's multi family housing stock was purchased piece by piece by a predator equity group, Pagemill Properties. After the purchase Pagemill began systematically dismantling our rent control ordinances and aggressively evicting working class families. The community was in shock. However, the Pagemill group went bankrupt in 2009 and lost the property to Wachovia,...

Non Profit Payday Loans?

Here's a recent New York Times article sent to me from Katie at NCHM on payday lending. I know that the NCUD / CTCU-EPA partnership is going to have to create the right program addressing the needs for short term lending for low income families. We don't have the answers yet, but it's definitely on our radar. APPLETON, Wis. — This city of 70,000 has five McDonald’s franchises, three Pizza Huts, four Starbucks shops — and 19 payday loan stores, brightly lighted storefronts with names like EZ Money and Check Into Cash that offer two-week loans without credit checks. Peggy Truckey, 53, knows the allure. Last year she owed nearly $1,300 to four of those stores, and was paying about $600 a month in finance fees alone. “I thought I was going to have to take a second job just to pay off the interest,” Ms. Truckey said. Then she heard about a new nonprofit program operated out of a Goodwill thrift store, one of several hundred lower-cost payday loan products that are now bein...
