) Choose your upholstery type. Whether you prefer a bold pattern or neutral palette, selecting the type of upholstery that fits your lifestyle is important. Leather is great as it can be wiped down, but some performance fabrics clean up pretty well, too. Natural materials, like linen, are beautiful but may fade in strong sunlight, so

you’re ready to refresh your living room, I always start with the sofa. It’s most likely the largest purchase you’ll make and probably the piece you’ll use the most. Sofas not only range greatly in price but vary in construction as well. Knowing what you’re buying is important and can save regret (and possibly thousands of dollars) later!

2) Consider the frame. Quality internal frames are made of kiln-dried hardwood, so be sure to inquire as to the materials used in the construction of your new purchase. Be wary of particleboard, metal, or plywood frames.

5) Take measurements! Before hitting the “buy now” button, get out the tape measure and make sure your new sofa will fit in your space. If you live in a smaller home or apartment, it’s also a good idea to measure door frames and hallways to make sure you can get the sofa into your room. I promise that it is extremely frustrating when the sofa won’t fit up a staircase or through a doorway! If access is limited, you may need to opt for a low-back style or even a modular sofa that can be delivered in sections.

Choosing a New Sofa

) Try it out. If you’ve tried shopping for furniture in person in our area, you’ll likely share my frustration with our limited selection of furniture stores. But please don’t simply buy your sofa online and hope for the best! It’s worth the drive to the Los Angeles area to sit on the sofa first. Sofas vary in seat depth and back height, so finding what is comfortable for you will go a long way in making sure you’re purchasing the correct piece. Taller

) Not all cushions are made the same. The filling used inside cushions varies, and it’s important to decide if you want a more firm or less firm feel. Down or feather-filled cushions tend to be squishier, so they’ll need more plumping to retain a tidy look. Foam-filled cushions retain their shape but tend to be firmer. Cushions filled with a combination of feathers and foam can be a good balance of comfort and structure.

consider your lifestyle and fur niture placement when select ing your upholstery type.

people may prefer a sofa with a higher back. Alternately, if you prefer to curl up on your sofa, then one with a deeper seat or a chaise may be for you.

Next, be sure to get swatches and see how the material looks in your own home. Fabrics can look different once you see them in your home with your lighting. A photo of a sofa online can look soft and comfortable, when in reality, the fabric is scratchy and uncomfortable. Most retailers offer free swatches, so take the extra time in order ing samples to make sure you know what you’re buying.

anta Barbara’s unsheltered population has long had shelters offering overnight accommodations, but no place for the unsheltered to go during the day. In January 2019, the Franciscan Friars at Old Mission Santa Barbara and the Daughters of Charity at St. Vincent’s teamed up to fill this void, opening the Fr. Virgil Cordano Center (FVCC). This drop-in day center, open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m., offers a welcoming place for support, rest, meals, and much more.

and volunteers every day. “The best food in town,” they often hear. Food is largely donated by Lazy Acres and Bristol Farms and, according to Sr. Arthur, volunteers are very creative with the ingredients they receive. Sr. Arthur brings oatmeal every morning, and volunteers sometimes bring freshly baked sweets. Guests are allowed unlimited servings, including to-go packages for their dinner.

Cordano Center Welcomes Unsheltered Guests at Day Center

According to Fr. Joe Schwab of Old Mission Santa Bar bara, the center grew out of a common interest of the Franciscan Friars and the Daughters of Charity to fill the critical need for a day center and to be directly connected with the poor. One of the most valuable components offered, according to Fr. Joe, is someone to speak with as aSr.friend.Arthur Gordon from St. Vincent’s, who assumed the role of center supervisor three years ago, concurred. She often hears from guests that nobody else talks to them. Each has his or her own story of becoming homeless and, according to Sr. Arthur, over time, many come forward and open up. Once staff and volunteers learn their stories, they can provide more help. The team comprises Program Director Debbie McQuade, a staff assistant, about 35 lay volunteers, Sr. Arthur, Fr. Joe, and other Daughters and Friars.Upon arrival, guests are greeted by name a seem ingly small gesture that means a lot to them, according to Sr. Arthur. An average of 70 guests, including a group of regulars, comes each day. The majority of them are men, but there are middle-aged and older women too. A temperature check, hand sanitizer, and a fresh mask help keep everyone COVID-safe.

McQuade related how FVCC strives to provide a sense of community to guests and to let each guest know they matter to the FVCC team. Concern is expressed for their individual challenges and genuine affection is extended to everyone. Appreciation by guests is apparent every day, according to McQuade, with a common farewell from guests being “Thanks a lot. I love you.”

Program Director Debbie McQuade, Fr. Joe Schwab OFM, and Center Supervisor Sr. Arthur Gordon DC

The meal service is tremendously appreciated by guests, according to McQuade, with guests complimenting staff

Last December, the center was able to double its space by partnering with Good Samaritan Shelter to lease an adjacent, connected space, which was used as a cooling center for the unsheltered on hot days, providing lounge chairs and several large fans. When the cooling center was not activated, it was part of FVCC. Recently, the partner ship with Good Samaritan ended and the space has been fully incorporated into FVCC.

The COVID lockdown in March 2020 shuttered the facility, but with an offer from UCSB to deliver prepared food each day, the FVCC team quickly turned its facility into a food-packing hall. Its volunteers packed up and delivered up to 185 lunches to the unsheltered in parks downtown three days per week until the center could safely reopen in August 2021. This continuity of service, according to Sr. Arthur, helped enable a smooth transition uponThereopening.majority of funding for FVCC comes from the Franciscan Friars and the Daughters of Charity, about a quarter from grants, and the rest from donations. Even small donations can have a big impact. For example, with more donations, the center could offer bus tokens for guests living downtown so they don’t have to endure the 90-minute trek to the center. Current revenue allows for tokens only for guests’ appointments.

The center has 34 lounge chairs, which many guests use to sleep or rest because those on the street get little sleep and those in the downtown shelters have about a 90-min ute walk to get to FVCC, which is located in a shopping center on Calle Real near Sansum/Pesetas Lane. A small chapel offers a place for spiritual counseling, solitude, and conversations between a guest and a staff member or volunteer.PartnerGood Samaritan Shelter provides a staff person to assist guests with getting housing. Computers are avail able to help with housing and job searches. Last month, 11 guests obtained a new job and four got housing.

his or her own invaluable gifts and style, according to McQuade, which enriches what FVCC does.

The center hopes to move to a larger facility in the area, which will enable it to serve more unsheltered people and to offer more services directly and through partnerships with other agencies on site. It hopes also to build tiny houses to house the unsheltered. A property has been identified, a loan for the property has been secured, and, once acquired, a capital campaign will launch to fund construction.

A laundromat section is appreciated by guests, espe cially on days that they get a shower from Showers of Blessing. The center serves as a mailing address for guests, enabling them to qualify for some government benefits that require a physical address.

There’s no quick fix to buying a house when you have stu dent loans. The good news is there’s more public support for student debt forgiveness. Many economists say forgiving stu dent loans, such as the Biden plan for debt cancellation, would put money back into Americans’ pockets. That would boost the economy and encourage the formation of more businesses and households. More businesses means more jobs, and more households means more spending. And spending fuels the U.S. economy.

You could be eligible for loan forgiveness if you’re a teacher, attended a for-profit school that went out of business, or have a total and permanent disability.

• Opt for an income-based repayment plan for federal stu dent loans. You can apply for loan repayment plans that will lower your monthly payment on a federal student loan based on your income and family size. The basic income-based repayment plan caps your payments at 10% of your discretion ary income. It also forgives your remaining loan balance after 20 years of payments. That can go a long way toward lowering monthly debt payments and your debt-to-income ratio.

#2 Increase Your Credit Score.

Want to instantly improve your chances of getting a mortgage? Put a co-borrower on your mortgage. Their income counts toward the debt-to-income ratio, and their credit his tory bolsters yours. Your combining forces to strengthen your financial qualifications, and that can offset the dead weight of your student loan debt.

President Biden provided some relief (not reflected in the previous numbers) when he announced in late August 2022 that he would cancel $10,000 in student loan debt for those earning less than $125,000 per year. The relief includes an additional $10,000 for those who received Pell grants for low-income students.

Despite uncertainty about debt cancellation timing and impact, you can get a mortgage while you have student debt. Here are a few tips for making it happen.

KNIGHT MIAAHEW

Look for someone who is experienced at working with borrowers who have more student debt than they’d like. Get a broker who will work with you to find DPA programs; steer you through the ins and outs of FHA conventional, and VA loans, and help you get your finances in order so you become a better mortgage candidate.

Your credit score is the other number that profoundly affects your financial fortune. It’s basically a grade for what kind of a job you do paying your bills. The simplest ways to boost your credit score include paying your bills on time, using less than 30% of the credit limit on your credit cards, and paying off debts.

You can do this in one of two ways:

#5 Get Help from Your Employer to Repay Student Debt.

#7 Get a Mortgage Broker Who Will Coach You.

Your debt-to-income ratio, is one of the most impactful numbers on your life since your ACT score. It measures the percentage of your monthly income that goes to pay your debts. You calculate it by adding all your monthly debts –credit card minimums, rent or mortgage, car payments, and, yes, student loan payments. Then, you divide the total by your monthly gross income (take-home pay before taxes and other monthly deductions).

• Refinance your private student loans. This is a good idea if you have private student loans that aren’t eligible for federal loan forgiveness or have variable rates. If you can get a lower interest rate, you can change your life. For example, if you have $30,000 in private student loans with an 8% interest rate, you’ll pay $364 for 10 years. Refinance that to a 15-year loan at 4% interest, and your payment drops by $142 a month. You’ll also save around $3,735 in interest over the life of the loan.

Co-borrowers are not uncommon. It’s a good way to go for a buyer who just doesn’t have enough money from their monthly income to qualify for a mortgage. Most co-borrowers he sees are usually parents, siblings, or grandparents. Most co-borrowers are family members or someone with whom the homeowner has a personal relationship. Remember, a co-borrower will share title on the home. If that’s not your cup of joint ownership, consider a co-signer. Their income will boost your financial profile, but they won’t be a co-owner of the house.
