What We do: Guiding You Toward Financial Freedom
Becoming financially empowered means you can save for an emergency, purchase a car or a home, get a degree to improve your wages, or start a small business. Whether you are in chronic financial trouble, an unexpected crisis arises, or you just want to make sure you are on the right track, individualized counseling can move you toward greater financial stability.
Meeting with our financial counselors can help you:
- Plan for your future
- Establish or improve credit
- Manage debt
- Create a budget
- Increase savings
- Maximize cashflow
What’s new? We’ve teamed up with nonprofit agencies to launch two new initiatives: Moving Men Forward and RESET. Moving Men Forward helps us break down financial barriers and uplift men of color in Davidson County. The RESET program, “Raising Economic Security to Enjoy Thriving,” includes financial empowerment counseling for older adults, along with benefit enrollment assistance, and referral to supplement income opportunities.
