Building Blocks
FINANCIAL STABILITY
Why Financial Stability?
Financial independence empowers individuals with the tools and skills necessary to maximize their income, build savings, and gain assets.
Because of you….
• Individuals and families are able to realize their
dream of home ownership.
• Programs exist to increase financial
understanding helping to build a brighter future.
• People learn to become better prepared for
the
future by saving for emergencies and
retirement.
Many people now hold one or more jobs, yet barely make enough money to support themselves or their families.
20.8% of local residents live below the federal poverty line.
