What if your insurance funds could do more than just rebuild?
This workshop is designed for fire-impacted homeowners who want to better understand their options. Representatives from United Policyholders, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing trustworthy, useful information and advocating for insurance consumers nationwide, will be on hand to answer questions and present alternative ideas, including:
- Building or buying a home in a different town, city, or state
- Applying to a senior community with step-up care
- Creative options for your future
- What you can do with your insurance payout
At the workshop, you’ll learn about:
- What’s legally possible
- The ins and outs of insurance policies, your rights, and state laws
- Real life success stories
- Creative ways others have used their proceeds
- Maximizing your payout
- Common pitfalls and expert strategies to make sure you get the most out of your insurance funds
The workshop is free and open to all. To register, visit this website.
This event is part of the Pasadena Senior Center’s Eaton Fire Community Support initiative, launched within days of the fire to assist affected residents. Additional resources for fire survivors are available under the Resources menu at pasadenaseniorcenter.org.
