MONEY MATTERS with Christopher Hensley

When it comes to taxes, many file early if they are getting money back or wait to the last minute if they owe. Once we make it past the April deadline there is a sense of relief. Now that taxes are done, now what?
We were joined by the Executive Director of the Credit Coalition, Sherrie Young. 

Sherrie Young serves as the Executive Director of the Credit Coalition, a HUD Approved Housing Counseling Agency, whose membership includes Houston area financial institutions, community organizations, community leaders and other related businesses and organizations.  She is the Credit Coalition’s lead instructor and foreclosure intervention, credit, homebuyer and reverse mortgage counselor.  Aside from counseling and conducting Credit Coalition classes, Sherrie participates in many community events to help spread the word about financial education, Individual Development Accounts, free VITA site tax preparation assistance, and other programs that can help families build and retain their assets. She is the Chair of the Counseling Committee of the Greater Houston Housing Coalition and Co-Chair of the Counseling Committee of the Texas Foreclosure Prevention Task Force.

Sherrie is a certified homebuyer education provider under the Texas Statewide Homebuyer Education Program and a HUD Certified Reverse Mortgage Counselor. She completed her Accredited Financial Counselor Certification in 2007 and holds NCHEC Certifications in Financial Capability, Housing Counseling, Pre-purchase Homeownership Education and Foreclosure Intervention and Default Counseling.
