Payday and Auto-Title Lending: Community Action & Alternatives

The Texas Catholic Conference, in association with local partners, will conduct a two-day Payday Lending Roadshow in San Angelo and Odessa on July 7 and 8. We invite community leaders, charitable providers, and elected officials to a community forum and strategy dialog concerning payday and auto-title loans in our communities. We will identify the impacts of payday lending, explore lending alternatives, and discuss how San Angelo and Odessa can best engage on this issue in the coming months.
