General explanation attachmentSEED 2013 PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTSEducationSEED Learning Center (SLC) The overall capacity has been increased to 52 students;the waiting list will be cleared once the Office of Childcare (OCC) approves the additional staff. Teachers have participated in additional training and certifications aimed at creating a stronger program. KaBoom! awarded SLC a grant for the construction of a new playground in 2013. EXCEL Academy Public Charter School The addendum to the Charter Agreement has been finalized and EXCEL is under the SEED umbrella. Nearly 400 families served. In keeping with the transfer resolution, we will work with the Advisory Board in the planning and implementation of its role in the following areas; marketing,fundraising,planning and expansion. Extended Learning Program The SLC location is at capacity with 15 students. The EXCEL location is not yet up and running. We are currently waiting on necessary documents to get site approved. In the interim, EXCEL is currently offering a free tutoring program. Foreclosure PreventionSEED currently conducts a monthly informational workshop on the foreclosure process in both English and Spanish. The English workshop usually has 15-20 residents in attendance with 9-10 attending the Spanish workshop. To avoid delinquency, default and foreclosure, SEEDs certified counselors serve as an intermediary with the lender to discuss retention and transition options for the homeowner. We also make referrals to other entities if legal or predatory lending abuses are suspected. In 2012 SEED counseled more than 300 individuals, with more than 100 avoiding foreclosure. Outcomes included, but not limited to, mortgage modifications, forbearances, and repayment agreements. Also, approximately 30 individuals were referred for legal assistance. Community Canvassing, Outreach & AdvocacySEED participated in a Community Canvassing Project with Public Justice in conjunction with the Coalition for Homeownership Preservation in Prince Georges County and both the Howard University and American University Schools of Law. The program targeted homeowners in the areas designated as foreclosure hot spots by the State of Maryland Department of Housing & Community Development. For three weekends the students canvassed the neighborhoods and knocked on doors with information for homeowners who are may be facing default. Homeowners were given information about counseling, their rights as renters, if applicable, as as well as the State of Maryland Foreclosure Mediation Process. Homeowners in the Riverdale area were given information on and referred to SEED.Provided resources to homeowners through intermediary groups, community activists as well as direct counseling at the following events and community activities: Town Hall Meeting sponsored by Councilmember Eric Olson; Foreclosure Outreach Event at Ebenezer AME Church; Prince Georges County Department of Social Services Annual Meeting of Case Workers and Managers; SEEDs CommunityFest 2011 & 2012 Prince Georges County Department of Housing and Community Developments Annual Housing Fair; Central Kenilworth Avenue Revitalization (CKAR)CDC Monthly meeting is a local coalition of homeowners associations, civic groups and local businesses in Riverdale and the surrounding area); Maryland Department of Housing & Community Development Outreach Event at the Kingdom @ Sanctuary Square; HOPE Alliance event at the Showcase Arena in Prince Georges County; and Served as host and partnered with both the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) as well as the Maryland and Prince Georges County Departments of Housing and Community Development to host a Home Retention and Fraud Prevention Event to educate homeowners and renters on their rights, alternatives to foreclosure, and available resources for assistance, and to provide opportunities to meet with pro bono attorneys to discuss individual situations. Provided support and testimony before the following state and local activities: Transportation, Housing & Environment Committee of the Prince Georges County Council (Provided testimony on the state of foreclosure in the County from the perspective of Housing Counselors); Testified before a state housing workgroup assembled by Governor OMalley to provide recommendations the Attorney Generals office on disbursement of the proceeds of the AG Settlement funds; and Testified before the Maryland House Ways & Means Committee in support of House Bill 1373requiring that lenders immediately register their properties after a foreclosure auction and HB1374, which will help homeowners and servicers work toward solutions earlier by setting a standard for pre-foreclosure filing mediation. Both bills passed and the laws went info effect October 1, 2012.First Time HomebuyersSEED provides a comprehensive educational experience with monthly classes and counseling over an 8-15 hour period. The program consists of eight hours of classroom instruction, conducted monthly, along with one-on-one counseling for a minimum of one hour to determine mortgage readiness of our clients as an option. In 2013, 245 residents have attended the First Time Homebuyers class to date with 33 becoming homeowners.First Time Homebuyer Series in SpanishBeginning January 2013 our standard 8-hour workshop will be provided 100% in Spanish for prospective homebuyers. Current partners: Chase and Fairfax Realty. We are in the process of finalizing additional alliances with additional lenders and realtors, home inspectors and title agencies.Financial Literacy SeriesSEED partnered with the Prince Georges Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta for a Financial Literacy Series. The first workshop was held on October 6th 2012, the second on December 2nd and continued through April 2013. The focus is to provide a variety of financial resources to the community. Subject matters include credit, investing, home ownership and estate planning. COMMUNITY SEVICESThe SEED Food Distribution Center served 508 households for a total of 2477 individuals served.
