“Due to the success and response we have received when we launched the Personal Growth Series in 2021, we are launching the events again in 2022. As a HUD-approved housing counseling agency, GROWTH helps its clients increase their knowledge and ability to repair their credit, create a budget, purchase a home, and save for the future,” said James Jones, housing manager for GROWTH, in a news release. “We’ve gotten a lot of inquiries from those wanting advice on how to better prepare financially throughout the COVID pandemic, and how to ensure they are making the right choices based on their individual circumstances.”
