home. it's another to keep up with payments and understand what it means to be a homeowner. avoiding foreclosure and thriving in the community is where we have a role to play. >> you're helping them go from renting to owning. for many americans, the american dream of owning is slipping away. for many it's a nightmare. >> it is becoming a nightmare. michael said the fact the city takes on 13,000 new residents a year. when you look at the african-american over the past decade, we've lost 40,000 residents. clearly this balance i've alluded to, the balance michael alluded to as well, is still not in play as of yet. that's where we push that agenda and certainly push the discussion. that's where we can bring the various candidates running for office to the table and begin to have that discussion. we're a non partisan

organization which means we don't support candidates. we believe in democracy of idea. we do want and will push having the conversation. >> members of the thursday network i'm sure want to own homes? >> yes. >> tell us about their dreams and how you're helping them accomplish them. >> homeowners -- we touched on this -- might not be the ultimate goal any longer. having that conversation to make sure people are comfortable with what their new reality is. we have monthly meetings on personal development topics. housing comes up many times in that conversation because it's kind of central to feeling -- have you reach had the marker in your life? kind of saying maybe that's different. where do you want to go? what will be the next step? we believe in bringing experts to the table. they can speak to us about what

we haven't experienced and we can become comfortable in next steps. finding your new dream is how we empower our members. >> that's where the dream starts. you focus on etteaching childre but also parents. talk about that. >> we've had great partnerships with a lot of financial institutions and making sure people know how to balance checks. you don't write checks for more money than you have in your account. that's important. certainly making sure the family is part of the process and understands that as well. taking it down kids as well. so it's again been a great partnership. we want to continue, do more, expand it in the other jurisdictions we work in as well. >> you know, michael, our parents understood. they were old fashioned. a lot of principleed, live

within your mean, save for a rainy day. that's something that has gotten lost in the generations. >> absolutely. i was raise ared by my mom, a single mom, a school janitor. she taught me everything about work ethic. it was about living in your means. my mom raised my sister and i. we never felt like we had less than needed. i give an example of how we tackle this. a lot of groups say we need to do this but have a hard time actually doing it. urban league tries to be the bridge. on the gala march 19th we'll a ward scholarships for i had kids to go to college. a lot of folks in town give scholarships. we take it a step further. we follow students and families as they go through the college experience. if you're the first in your family to go to college, getting there is a challenge but staying

the administration is concerned act being addreggressive in terf responding to that. there are four target areas where you have the lowest income, the high turnover in terms of foreclosure. we provide counselling. the key thing is is folks get to us. what i say is really not wait until the 11th hour. so many times that occurs. we try to turn the situation around, but it is difficult. we're looking at ways. i say folks think out of the box. we are in terms of our service delivery, how we're effective in doing outreach and getting folks engaged early on. >> four target areas. what are the areas? >> well, there are actually six i think target areas. they're in the middle of the county. these are areas as i said where they've been the highest incidents of low income persons,

out of work unemployed, low education is an issue as well. for a number of the residents there who are unemployed or underemployed because that tends to be anssue as well. we have an entrepreneur ship program. some begin to explore and pretty much made a decision that the point, it's time for me to go to work for myself. we have a program that we started at this point. it's teaching folks the skills around becoming an entrepreneur which we think is key. the other thing is a lot of times that helps create jobs. small businesses create many jobs in this country. there's interesting ways we look at trying to help folks out of poverty. >> talk about the challenges in montgomery county. >> the challenges regionally are not terribly different. when you look at district,

prince george's, montgomery county. they're all facing similar challenges. what's interesting is there's similar opportunities. when the league comes in and builds on things like the entrepreneur ship program. we're not assuming they do not have a skill set. we're trying to help them turn that into a business. you might be a good plumber but don't know how to turn that into a business. that's what the league does. it turns a trade into a business to empower temperaturhe familie communities. charis is that one of the dreams of the members of the thursday network, to start their own businesses? > > >> it really is. we do an entrepreneur ship opportunity every year, a workshop open to all professions. that's a uniqyou unique partner.

we want to give them the passion and run with it for themselves. >> in terms of starting a business, there are simple businesses that just about anybody can start based on what they know how to do. talk about that. many don't realize that just basic skills, whether doing hair or nails or cooking, baking, building things. there's so many skills that young people have today they can use to make money to pay their bills, get them through college and turn skills into businesses. >> exactly. the slang term is side hustle. that is something you promote. right now where you are you can be a business owner with hair styling or catering. you can turn that into a business without the risk of leaving your current job

provided the stability you need. there's opportunity for you to become an sbrentrepreneur today. >> we try to put framing around that. a lot of businesses in order to move to the next level needs varying certification. we try to insure folks get the certification they need, know where to get them. they know the various opportunities, where this is subcontract things they can do as well. we try to put the structure and framing it. >> and the financing? >> absolutely. >> we'll be right back. stay with us.

market to say the least. i'm sure you know that. one of the things we do, we have clients to come in. we really kind of help them take a look at various options. what is the best fit for them based on family size, income, what the health issues are. just certainly try to stir them in the direction of a plan that will work for them. >> the really interesting thing about the health care law. in this town, everything is so political. at the end of the day we're supporting healthy communities and families. the healthier our community is, the stronger our region and economy is. that's what we do well. we say there's politics, but let's set that a side and help people get in programs to help them. i think we do that effectively. >> our most young people in the thursday network enrolled? do they have insurance? >> most do. there's a large section of young professionals that are contractors. they're not getting the

traditional health insurance through their jobs. making sure they're connected to right opportunities to make sure they are enrolled. young professionals are the key part of the health exchange success. >> let's talk about the young people going off to college and doing well. you have an impressive record of helping students. you alluded to the scholarship program. i'm curious how you manage to continue giving such wonderful and generous scholarships in a tough economy. how have you done that? >> great partners. through the initiative and scholarships. the thursday network, young effort of great partners. people raise money for each year -- this year for scholarships as well. example, we're giving nine many of the companies and corporations we work with, this is a key priority. they want to be in the organization like the urban league. they know this is the base of folks we touch. they have stepped up, bore to this as well. we give -- just this year giving
