Green Goods Duluth/Hermantown is located at 4900 Miller Trunk Highway, Hermantown, MN 55811 and will offer medical cannabis in a variety of consumption formats familiar to most patients, including soft gels capsules, oral solutions, tablets, and concentrated cannabis oils.

Freddie Mac Prices Approximately $637 Million SLST Securitization

MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today announced pricing of the third Seasoned Loans Structured Transaction Trust (SLST) offering of 2020—a securitization of approximately $637 million including both guaranteed senior and non-guaranteed subordinate securities backed by a pool of seasoned re-performing loans (RPLs). The SLST program is a fundamental part of Freddie Mac’s seasoned loan offerings which reduce less-liquid assets in its mortgage-related investments portfolio and shed credit and market risk via economically reasonable transactions.

Freddie Mac SLST Series 2020-3 includes approximately $504 million in guaranteed senior certificates and approximately $134 million in non-guaranteed subordinate certificates. The right to purchase the subordinate certificates was awarded on October 30 via an auction. The transaction is expected to settle on November 24, 2020.

The underlying collateral backing the certificates consists of 4,486 fixed-, adjustable-, and step-rate, seasoned RPLs, most of which were previously modified to assist borrowers.

The loans are and will be serviced by NewRez, LLC (d/b/a Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing) in accordance with requirements that prioritize borrower retention options in the event of default and promote neighborhood stability.

Advisors to this transaction are J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and BofA Securities, Inc. as co-lead managers and joint bookrunners, and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Nomura Securities International, Inc., Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., and Samuel A. Ramirez & Company, Inc. (a minority-owned business) as the co-managers.

To date, Freddie Mac has sold over $8 billion of Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) and securitized approximately $69 billion of RPLs consisting of $30 billion of fully guaranteed PCs, $30 billion of SCRT senior/sub securitizations, and $9 billion of Seasoned Loans Structured Transaction (SLST) offerings. Additional information about the company’s seasoned loan offerings can be found at: http://www.freddiemac.com/seasonedloanofferings/

Comcast Hosts Digital Equity Summit Focused on Meeting Veterans’ Needs in the Digital Age and Announces Nearly $250,000 in Donations to Support Digital Inclusion Efforts for Veterans in Vermont, Connecticut and Western Massachusetts

PR Newswire

BURLINGTON, Vt., Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Executives from Comcast Corporation and Comcast’s Western New England Region, which serves 300 communities in Connecticut, Vermont, western Massachusetts, western New Hampshire and New York, today held a virtual summit on the topic of veterans to raise awareness of the impact the digital divide has on them. As part of the event, Comcast also announced several donations worth more than $250,000 to support digital inclusion efforts in Connecticut, Vermont and western Massachusetts.

In partnership with local officials, including Massachusetts Congressman Richard E. Neal, the summit featured a panel discussion featuring Christina Morgan, Executive Director of Dodge House in Rutland, as well as several other non-profit partners, on how the COVID-19 pandemic and the digital divide have further exacerbated issues for veterans.

Panelists held a robust and thoughtful conversation that examined how the use of the Internet, when coupled with social outreach programs, can help facilitate positive change for veterans impacted by social isolation, job loss, housing insecurity and more. Panelists included:


  • Dorinda Borer
    , Connecticut State Representative and Veterans Affairs Chair

  • Alfred Montoya
    , Chief Executive Officer & Medical Center Director, VA Connecticut Healthcare System

  • Gumersindo Gomez
    , Executive Director, Bilingual Veterans Outreach Centers of Mass Inc.

  • Steve Hackley
    , Senior Vice President of Consumer Sales, Comcast Corporation
  • U.S. Army Brigadier General (Ret.)
     

    Carol Eggert
    , Senior Vice President of Military and Veteran Affairs, Comcast NBCUniversal

  • Dennis Mathew
    , Senior Vice President, Comcast’s Western New England Region

  • Christina Morgan
    , Executive Director, Dodge House

  • Josh Salazar
    , Senior Director of Military Services and Philanthropy, Easterseals Capital Region & Eastern Connecticut

Following the panel discussion, Comcast announced four grants to support digital skills training for veterans and the development or expansion of technology labs. The grants included:

  • $20,000 to the VA Connecticut Healthcare System;
  • $20,000 to Easterseals Capital Region & Eastern Connecticut;
  • $20,000 to Dodge House in Rutland, Vermont; and
  • $30,000 to the Bilingual Veterans Outreach Centers of Massachusetts.

“Comcast is committed to supporting the men and women in our community who have stood up for our country and we are proud to partner with these organizations that provide veterans with access to life-changing digital tools and resources, including Internet Essentials, our low-cost broadband program,” said Dennis Mathew, Senior Vice President of Comcast’s Western New England Region.

In addition, Comcast surprised all four organizations with a total of 500 Dell laptops and 500 opportunity cards, which offer six-months of internet for free through Comcast’s Internet Essentials program.

Internet Essentials by Comcast offers low-cost, high-speed Internet service for $9.95 a month plus tax, provides access to free digital skills training in print, online, and in person, and includes the option to purchase a low-cost Internet-ready computer. Since 2011, Internet Essentials has connected millions of low-income households to the Internet, most for the very first time. During that period, the program has grown from focusing on bridging the “homework gap” for school-age children to addressing digital equity issues for all Americans, especially veterans and senior citizens.

“Many of our veterans experience barriers because they do not have an internet subscription at home or access to a library or drop-in center due to COVID-19 or a lack of transportation. Through the incredible support of Comcast, we will be able to create a safe space at Dodge House so local veterans can have reliable access to a computer, the internet, and a volunteer to teach digital skills,” said Christina Morgan, Executive Director of Dodge House. “This will enable our veterans to overcome some of the barriers that may prevent them from utilizing telehealth programs, virtual job fairs and other digital services being offered right now to keep people healthy, connected and productive during these times.” 

Comcast NBCUniversal also has a partnership with Elizabeth Dole Foundation and the PsychArmor Institute, two of America’s leading veteran-serving non-profit organizations that helps support the creation of veteran-specific digital skills training videos and supplementary materials.
