Income Supports & Financial Coaching
Financial coaching and support at our Center for Working Families takes on multiple dimensions - from creating a safety net of income supports to navigate a time of transition all the way through credit improvement, debt management and long-term financial planning.
Through a thorough screening process, our staff can assess the public benefits for which you are eligible, connect you to our partner resources in the community, and provide fast and easy access to critical cash and non-cash supports that help out in a time of need.
And through workshops and one-on-one coaching and goal setting, our Financial Coach helps you to make ‘dollars and sense’ out of your current economic situation, untap opportunities in budgeting, debt management, and saving in the short and long-term, and begin setting the foundation for future household money management. We can help you leverage the tools you need to accumulate savings with which you can manage household stresses and build that much-needed safety net for yourself and your family.
