February 2012 Rent Smart Workshop
RENT SMART
Rent Smart is a two-part class that will be offered Monday, February 13th and Thursday, February 16th, 2012, from 6:00 pm-9:00 pm at Father Carr's Place 2B, located at 1965 Oshkosh Ave., Oshkosh, WI. Rent Smart is a tenant training program that provides practical education to help people acquire and maintain decent housing. Rent Smart emphasizes skills that can help tenants avoid legal confrontations. It stresses tenant responsibilities and the advantage of a quality landlord/tenant relationship opposed to an adversarial one.
Tenants learn about and practice skills that better prepare them for renting. By learning what’s expected up front, tenants can prepare ahead to demonstrate that they can be a good tenant.
To register or request further information on Rent Smart, please call the Winnebago County UW-Extension Office at (920) 232-1970. Additionally, you may download the full 2012 Rent Smart Workshop schedule here.

Free Tax Assistance Available at 2 Sites in Oshkosh
Doing ones own taxes can be intimidating, but help is available at no charge through a community partnership. Again this year, the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) will offer FREE tax help to individuals and families.
VITA is a partnership between the Winnebago County UW Extension, the Oshkosh Area United Way, the IRS, UW Oshkosh College of Business, Fox Valley Technical Collage, the Oshkosh Area Community Pantry and St. Vincent de Paul. VITA is a FREE program that utilizes trained and certified volunteers to prepare taxes for low to moderate-income individuals and families (generally those making $50,000 or below).
TCE is a partnership between the Oshkosh Seniors Center and the AARP Foundation. The target population for the AARP/Senior Center program is low to moderate income tax payers with special attention to those age 60 and older. Once again, trained volunteers provide free tax counseling and basic income tax return preparation.
Appointments are required. For appointments, please call the Tax Assistance Help Line - hosted by the Oshkosh Area United Way - at 651-3060. The United Way will begin taking appointments on January 3, 2012.
