Rental Assistance Starts with Lowering Your Credit Card Debt

If you're stuck in the cycle of high-interest credit cards and rising rent, you're not alone. It’s not just what you owe, it’s the sky-high interest rates draining your budget. That pressure can snowball into late rent, fees, credit damage, and constant stress. If eligible, a Debt Management Plan (DMP) can lower your interest rates and monthly payments, helping you pay off debt faster and free up income to stay current on rent.
