 Preparing for a child should be a happy time in people's lives, but the financial obligations that come with preparing for a child can prove to be a large expense. To help, we recently created a new guide to help new parents, those who are expecting, and those thinking about having a baby with the financial aspects of having a child.  Our guide covers:  (1)The cost of having a child, (2) What to plan for throughout pregnancy, (3) Financial steps to take once a child is born and more!  Annuity.org helps you make the right decisions for your financial future.

According to EndHomelessness.org, as of January 2020, more than half a million people are experiencing homelessness in the country. Stable and sustainable employment is essential in creating and maintaining housing stability.  Resume Builder provides a resource to help people who are experiencing homelessness learn about the common roadblocks to employment and ways to overcome them. 

RetireGuide aims to provide the  most up-to-date and accurate information about financial decisions that affect your retirement.   Here are two articles that may be of interest to our Senior Community.

 Many people experiencing homelessness are housed through rental assistance, vouchers and public housing. Outside of those mainstream programs, there are a number of federal programs that work to house people experiencing homelessness, directly or indirectly. Many of these programs are part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), while others are run through other agencies either in collaboration with HUD or on their own. 

 For immediate assistance, you can also call Maryland 2-1-1 (toll free from any phone). Call specialists are trained to assist people faced with housing needs, utility shutoffs, family crisis, financial, legal, employment and other issues. Either dial 211 or visit: www.211md.org.
