The Center has never exceeded $6 million during the past 16 years of operation. However, many new procedures are going to be established to try and reach this goal for FY 2009/2010. There is now extensive marketing throughout the community, especially with banks, to help clients with a variety of loans. Furthermore, extensive visits to all banks within our 6 county service area will be conducted by our counselors on a monthly basis.
