The focus was on crises which threatened the financial independence and sense of security to those most vulnerable to loss of independence-the poor, women, minority, and rural elderly. NCLC identified those involved in the delivery of legal services to the elderly in order to develop contacts with them and provide them with high quality technical expertise and resources to improve their capacity to successfully address legal and financial problems (and consequent physical and emotional problems) arising out of fraudulent and/or unaffordable consumer transactions and unmangeable energy burdens. Dissemination of new and old publications was its forte. They included; monographs on energy issues, newsletters, articles, consumer and energy publications, manuals, brochures, Energy Studies, and Reports, Training Modules and Outlines, books, guides to counseling families in financial distress, Repossessions and Foreclosures, Credit Discrimination, The Cost of Credit, Reverse Mortgages, Credit Insurance, House-Rich Elderly, Utilities, Energy and the Poor, Weatherization, Low-Income Advocate, Water Rates, Foreclosure Prevention, etc. 收起
