Helping Hands Eyes New North Augusta Foster Home
Helping Hands hopes to buy a house and land to establish a permanent foster home for teenagers in North Augusta. The group, formed five years ago and funded by United Way, Aiken County and private gifts, may obtain a government grant to cover operating costs and hire staff, likely a married couple, to run the home. The York Street shelter previously housed infants to 17 year olds for up to 90 days while foster homes were found, but placing older teens remains difficult.

State lenders unsure if 10 percent home loan cap is legal
In Columbia, lenders defer from 10 percent rates amid questions on the legality of raising the state maximum from 9 to 10 percent. A budget bill approved by both chambers raised the cap, but a companion bill failed in the House. Attorneys general opinions say the amendment may be unconstitutional, leaving lenders wary and buyers unsure of access to higher-rate loans. The estimated difference between 9 and 10 percent is about 73 cents per month per $1,000, with larger sums growing accordingly.
