That reassessment of property values is held every five years and was last conducted in 2018. \nThe BCBCC has partnered with PAFEN to provide free budgeting and credit repair classes to Gullah Geechee families since 2016\, and it has sent presenters to every STAND4LAND TAXPAYER EMPOWERMENT WORKSHOP since 2017. \nBCBCC President Larry Holman sees co-sponsoring the 2022 workshop to better inform the public about both the numerous free resources and services available through the BCBCC\, and its loyal support of Gullah Geechee land retention efforts. An emerging regional powerhouse\, the BCBCC offers a great portfolio of services in Beaufort County\, Jasper County\, Colleton County\, Allendale County\, and others. \n“We’re definitely committed to helping to save Gullah Geechee property\,” says Holman\, noting that BCBCC’s free services are open to the general public. \n“We’re welcoming the local community to come into our headquarters to see what we have to offer\, including our free financial literacy classes\, our First Time Homebuyers Program\, our Small Business Administration loans\, our emergency home repair program\, and our plans to offer up to $2\,500 in small personal loans to combat the financial burden of dealing with predatory lenders\, who can charge up to 500% interest or more\,” Holman explained. \nWorkshop attendees will receive free note taking materials\, and an onsite lunch at no cost. \nFor more information\, or to make a reservation\, call PAFEN at 843-812-3558. \nYou can learn more about the Pan African Family Empowerment Network here.
