Waco council considers $225,000 for property-related legal aid

The money would come from a city allocation already granted to Prosper Waco, a nonprofit that looks for solutions to education, health and financial security issues. McKeever and Prosper Waco Executive Director Matthew Polk presented the plan to city council members this week during a Budget and Audit Committee meeting.

“We think there’s a way to intervene early so that folks don’t run into those issues, which saves everybody time and money, and in the big picture, helps people be more financially stable because they’ve got those issues related to their home worked out,” Polk said.
