We fight for financial stability for individuals and families by ending the cycle of poverty and financial dependence.

Too many families are walking a financial tightrope – barely getting by with no ability to save for college, a home, or retirement. We help increase financial stability for working families by addressing both the immediate crisis needs and providing long-term solutions through educational programs in financial literacy – including budgeting, savings, banking, and access to non-predatory financial assistance services.

Financial Stability Goal:
Individuals/families improve their socio-economic status.
