You don’t have to have good credit to be flooded with offfers for new credit cards, loan consolidations, and other financial schemes on a daily basis. Sometimes these offers are for real, but other offers are scams used by predatory lenders. Michigan, like many other states, does not have any state laws to either regulate or de-fine predatory lending.

Talking about the problem can be confusing because it comes in many forms. Here are some of the most common predatory lending scenarios that we see on the Eastside:

Payday loans: There are a large number of payday loan businesses in Lansing. These businesses advance, or loan, money to fami-lies struggling to pay the bills until the next paycheck. However, the terms of the loans can include very large fees to extend the loan, and interest rates between 391-443%! According to the Center for Responsible Lending, if a borrower gets a loan for $325

Beware of Predatory Lending By Jason Weller

Warning Signs of Predatory Lending:

♦ Penalty fees for pre-payment (paying off the loan early)

♦ Being asked to leave documents blank at the time of signing for the loan

♦ High fees associated with the loan ♦ High interest rates ♦ Lenders who encourage you to borrow

more than you need, or more than your home is worth

♦ Lenders who promise “No credit? Bad credit? No problem!”

Spring Souper: Super Fun!

Eastside Neighborhood Organization, along with Resurrection School, will be hosting their 27th Annual Spring Souper Fundraiser on March 10, 2007, from 3:00-7:00 PM. Come join the fun: eat some warm homemade soups and desserts, and have a great time socializing with family and friends. There will be a live auction, a silent auction, raffles, and a kids’ raffle as well. There will also be Elves available to help with children who attend with games and other activities while parents enjoy themselves. ENO only puts on one fund-raiser a year, so we hope to see you there!

Allen Neighborhood Center is seeking to hire, by April 1st, a half-time coordinator for our newly combined Youth Service Corps & youth gardening programs. With the construction of the GardenHouse in Hunter Park, the existing YSC (which is currently chore and service based) will be taking advantage of this resource to be-come an entrepreneurial and educational gardening experience. The coordinator, working in conjunction with the garden programs coordinator, will • develop, schedule, plan, and supervise YSC sessions which will involve both ser-vice chores and gardening projects; • recruit and train youth for this neighbor-hood-based program, which will include such projects as monthly newsletter deliv-ery, growing food for their own families and/or selling it at our farmers market, and doing landscaping projects for neighbors; • recruit and train the adult volunteers who serve as one-on-one coaches to YSC;

Flood Risks Greatest in Spring

Spring is nearly here and so is the risk of flooding. The last devastating flood that hit the Eastside occurred in 1975 and caused millions of dollars in dam-ages in Ingham County. In any given year there is a risk that flooding will occur at a size lesser or greater than in 1975. To find out if you live in the floodplain or for information on flood preparedness, call Jen or Ann at 367-2468, ext. 2012. You can also visit our website at www.allenneighborhood-center.org. Click on “neighborhood revitalization”, then “preparing for a flood” for more information.

This month, the youth are preparing to attend the 5th Annual PeaceJam confe-rence in Kalamazoo, MI, on March 31-April 1. The featured Nobel Laureate is the famous indigenous activist Rigober-ta Menchu Tum of Guatemala. The youth will prepare and present their peace service project to Rigoberto; they then have a year to carry out their pro-posed project in the community. Thank You to: Calvary Ministries, Francine Watts, and the Parkwood YM-CA for their donations; and Tara Scott (of the As You Are Yoga Studio) Sha-mika Askew, Amanda Adsit, Rachel Inwald, Laura Walker, and LaVonda White for volunteering.

Not too long ago, kids walked and rode their bikes to school all the time. For various reasons, this is no longer common or even safe. A new and exciting initiative is going on at Bing-ham Elementary School to fix this problem. Marni Mintener Barron, literacy coach at the school and an experienced educator, has stepped up to bring the Safe Routes to School federal initiative to Bingham for the benefit of the whole Eastside.

The initiative has five components: nutrition, exercise, environmental education, stranger safety, and bike and pedestrian safety. Marni has al-ready created, in collaboration with Bingham students, Reload Records, Lopez Bakery, and Rudy Bags cof-fee, a multimedia curriculum called “Safe Routes to School, Safe Routes to Cool”, published by Sankofa Pub-lishing, that will be distributed by Everybody Reads bookstore. It is a book and CD-ROM set containing a multimedia presentation and a rap performed by Bingham students. The project is being held up by legislators as a model program for other commu-nities to use.

Volunteers Needed!

The next step in this program to make the neighborhood safer is to do a walking survey of the area. Marni

needs volunteers to look at sidewalk quality, vacant houses near the school, unsafe people near the school, and unsafe traffic patterns such as lack of crosswalks and crossing guards. You don’t have to have kids at Bingham to participate—all con-cerned community members are wel-come.

Safe Routes to School,

Safe Routes to Cool By Franny Howes

Several new projects and organiza-tions have recently opened their doors in our neighborhood. Here’s the run-down:

The NorthStar Center, located at 106 Lathrop Street, is a community space committed to social justice and creating change in the Lansing Area. It is an organizing space and meeting place, a venue for educational events, and a resource center.

The center contains an office/resource area as well as a large meeting room. They hope to offer ESL classes, self-defense workshops, music and speak-ing events, as well as many other things. If you are interested in hosting an event or running a class at the cen-ter, please let them know! Hours are

If you are interested, please contact Marni at 449-3372 (cell), 325-6770 ( w o r k ) , o r b y e m a i l a t marni.barron@sbcglobal.net, by Fri-day, March 29th. After this survey is done, folks will also be needed to help draft an action plan. This is necessary if we want to receive grant money to fix the problems found on the survey!

The ability to safely engage in physi-cal activity is crucial for the health of our children and our own health as well. Please help our community by getting involved!

New 2 You is a newly-opened used (or “experienced”) clothing store created by Residential Options, Inc, a non-profit organization that provides real opportunities for individuals with men-tal illness, autism, and related develop-mental disabilities. New 2 You will provide real world, on-the-job training for these individuals, along with pro-viding quality products for the Allen Street neighborhood. All profits will go to in-store wages and similar voca-tional training projects.

The store is located at 1607 E. Kalama-zoo Street, in the same building as the Allen Neighborhood Center. Their hours are Monday thru Friday, 10 AM to 6 PM, and Saturday from 9 AM to 1 PM. Come out and support this won-derful project. If you have any ques-tions, contact the store at 374-8072.

Barefoot Lansing is a community church that has small meeting groups across the Lansing area, including one on the Eastside.

In January 2007, the church started Project Shalom, aiming to serve neighbors and the community. The program assists residents with home projects that they are unable to com-plete on their own. The project is geared towards helping seniors, wid-ows, single parents, people with dis-abilities and low-income residents. Ac-ceptable projects range from lawn care to light home repair and painting. Lead pastor Noah Filipiak says that this pro-ject is about “humanity, that is not about religion, but is sourced in uncon-ditional love and grace.” For more in-formation about Project Shalom, or to request an application for assistance, visit www.barefootlansing.com or call (517) 374-8939.

they can expect to pay back $793. Every year, these businesses cost American families $4.2 billion in ex-cess fees and high interest rates.

Mortgages: Adjustable Rate Mort-gages, or ARMS, are largely to blame for the skyrocketing number of people losing their homes. These can be dan-gerous mortgages. With an ARM loan, borrowers start with a very low monthly payment that will increase significantly after a set period of time (typically 2 to 3 years). In many in-stances, lenders don’t explain what the terms of the loan really mean, and peo-ple are surprised when their interest rates increase and their monthly pay-ments become unpayable.

What can you do to avoid losing your home or savings to a predatory lender? • If you are thinking about buying a house, or refinancing, talk to a certified housing counselor. • Ask questions and don’t sign any-thing you don’t understand. • If you don’t have a bank account, visit your local bank or credit union. • Contact your state legislator and en-courage them to support an anti-predatory lending law. A recent study has found that states with anti-predatory legislation have reduced these types of loans by almost 33%.

Remember that if something sounds

too good to be true it probably is!

If you think you are being targeted by predatory lenders, you can contact your local office of consumer affairs, or an approved credit counseling agency such as the Allen Neighbor-hood Center. For more information, please contact Jason Weller at 367-2468 ext. 2004, or via email at jasonw@allenneighborhoodcenter.org.

The City of Lansing has a NEAT new tool to keep residential properties up to code: the Neighborhood Enhancement Action Team (NEAT). The team com-bines the resources of the city’s Code Compliance Office, the City Attorney, the Human Relations and Community Services Department, and service agen-

cies to rectify housing code violations.

The Code Compliance Office is re-sponsible for enforcing minimum safety standards of residential dwelling units. If a home or apartment is unsafe, either for the residents or the general public, code officers are required to declare the unit uninhabitable by “tagging” it. Once a home is tagged, residents may not live there until code violations are resolved. The housing code currently mandates that a dwell-ing be tagged for any number of rea-sons, including lack of utilities, hazard-ous conditions, public health concerns,

or structural damage.

To distinguish among the wide range of issues code enforcement officers encounter, the city has instituted a new color-coded tag system. Under the new system, units that lack required

utilities will receive a green tag. Most often, this is due to a shut-off by the

utility company for non-payment.

Uni t s tha t a re c lass i f ied as “substandard” will receive yellow

tags. Substandard units are usually structurally sound, but lack adequate sanitation or have faulty mechanical, plumbing, or electrical systems. This category also includes unregistered rentals, over-occupancy, and inade-quate fire protection or warning de-

vices.

Properties that pose a threat to resi-

dents and the public will receive a red tag. This category includes build-

ings with exits that don’t conform to fire code, lack of sanitary or heating facilities, dilapidated or fire-damaged structures, or infestation of insects or rodents. Vacant buildings that are open and accessible will also be red tagged because they are attractive to

trespassers.

Residents who receive green tags may be referred to agencies that provide utility assistance. Folks with yellow tags may be referred to nonprofit hous-ing organizations (MSHDA, Habitat for Humanity, or Paint a Place) for as-sistance with minor repairs. People with hoarding disorders may be re-

ferred to Community Mental Health.

Ultimately, the new system helps own-ers by addressing the underlying issues that prevent them from maintaining

their properties.
