Consolidated Credit works with the Miami-Dade Affordable Housing to help first-time home buyers with the financial aspects of purchasing a new home.
Consolidated Credit created and participated in joint education programs with CautionwithCredit.org.

Currently, more than 200 colleges and universities are using the site and materials to educate their students on credit issues.
WHAT WE NEED:
In 2009, Consolidated Credit is seeking partners to assist in the development of an educational Webinar series to address consumers' economic concerns and provide financial strategies to survive the recession.

In 2008, Consolidated Credit expanded its housing counseling to include foreclosure prevention. This new in-house division assists financial institutions with identifying homeowners at risk and providing housing and budget counseling and personal financial education.
