BOOF & BeyondBOOF & Beyond2 years of research through the BOOF program has
allowed youth participants to look at the implications of predatory lending to problem gamblers in Daly City.
BOOF participants feel that policies should be passed to limit where Payday lenders can operate.
Next Steps: Youth are working with elected officials in Daly City to pass a Model Ordinance Policy.
BOOF films will be shared to mobilize community residents about problem gambling and predatory lending.
