Which Way, Austin? Imagine Austin Community Forums¿Hacia dónde se dirije Austin? Foro de diseño de la comunidad de Austin Serie
By Samantha Park, City of Austin
Help plan our city’s future. The City of Austin is creat-ing a new comprehensive plan, looking ahead to 30 years of growth and change. In a fall series of work-shops, September 20-October 6, the City of Austin is asking the community to help shape a Preferred Sce-nario for Future Growth. Voice your concerns for how jobs, housing, development and open space should fit together. Everyone’s ideas are welcome.
Your responses on a survey, which will remain open through October, will inform the plan. Forum Activi-ties include taking a survey, views displays and maps, contrast the four imagined scenarios with the growth trend we’re on now and talk with planners, city staff, and community task force members. Can’t attend a forum in person? You can read, review and comment on everything online at www.ImagineAustin.net, or review documents at an Austin Public Library.
Some of the conversations the City of Austin wants to have are: How can we invest in smart, sustainable ways? What investments best support our Vision Statement? Where should more people live? Work? Play? Which scenario will be best for our grandkids?

Su participación en una encuesta que estará disponible durante el mes de octubre, contribuirá con la formación del plan con el mejor escenario de desarrollo. Entre las actividades en el Forum se encuentran llenar una encues-ta, observar las exhibiciones y mapas, hacer un contraste de los cuatro escenarios imaginarios con el ritmo de cre-cimiento que tenemos actualmente y conversar con los urbanistas, personal del cabildo y los miembros comu-nitarios.

KLGO the Word 98.5/ 99.3 and La Palabra 1490 AM deliver the Lord’s message in both English and Spanish in the Central Texas area, This 30 year old radio com-pany, with La Palabra being its newest addi-tion, is a pillar in the religious and business community while lending its voice to making it a trusting informational resource.
The Word and La Palabra strive to connect its listening audience to reliable businesses and professionals who provide goods and servic-es that address the listeners’ needs. Based on a Mediamark Research Report, this source reveals that 8.71% of all Christian radio listeners are business owners, which is above the national average. In addition, Christian radio listeners are most likely to be self-employed and 25% more likely, to be classified as a business owner or partner. In October, both stations will be launching a volunteer program that will serve organizations in the non-profit community. The mission is to create engaging public service announcements and cater to people in need of clothing, food and health services.

Important Factors that Affect Your Credit ScoreFactores importantes que Afectan su Puntaje Crediticio
By Sya Farahmandi
In the last newsletter of GAHCC Noticias, we mentioned that 65% of your credit score is made from your level of debt and your payment history. The third factor is your credit history. The longer you have an account open the more credible you are, therefore the higher your score will be. The fourth and fifth factor are the number of inquiries for new credit (10%) and the diversification of your credit (10%). These are where the majority of us mistakenly do not apply for a refinance or a consolidation of revolving accounts because of the fallacy that “it significantly lowers your credit score”. If you do not have a fixed simple interest account, your score will actually improve when you consolidate because now you have more diversification of credit in use. At the same time you are lowering the level of debt in your old accounts, you could also have a better interest rate. Therefore, your gains are much greater over time. The most important thing is that you have a plan to become completely debt free.
Do you know how to protect your family while you have debt and other responsibilities? Make sure you check our next edition. For more information, questions, or if you would like to learn about an-other topic of personal finance, visit www.AskSya.com.
Traducción de: Sya Farahmandi
En la edición anterior de GAHCC Noticias, mencionamos que el 65% del puntaje está comprendido por su nivel de deudas y su historia de pago, de que tratan estos factores y cómo hacer para mejorarlos. El factor número tres es su historia de crédito y básicamente esto quiere decir que mientras más viejita sea su tarjeta o línea de crédito más credibilidad usted tiene y su puntaje va a aumentar. Los factores cuatro y cinco son el número de aplicaciones para nuevas líneas de crédito (10%) y la diversificación de su tipo de crédito (10%) es aquí donde la mayoría de la gente comete el er-ror de no aplicar para refinanciamientos o intentar consolidar tarjetas de crédito a una deuda de interés simple por un tiempo menor por la falsa creencia de que eso “afecta su crédito significativamente”. Si usted no tiene una deuda fija entre sus cuentas en muchos casos su crédito va a ser beneficiado al consolidarlas porque tiene más diversificación y además liberaría el nivel de deudas de esas cuentas, podría tener menor tasa de interés y por tanto la ganancia es mucho mayor a largo plazo. Lo impor-tante es tener un plan que le ayude salir completamente de deudas.
Sabe usted ¿cómo proteger a su familia mientras tiene deudas y respon-sabilidades? Espere nuestra próxima edición. Para más información, pre-guntas o si desea sugerir algún tema de finanzas personales visite www.AskSya.com.
