We understand the Challenges our neighbors Face
Our team understands what it’s like when rent goes up faster than paychecks, when one unexpected bill throws off your whole budget, or when you have a great business idea but don’t know where to start. That’s why we created workshops that actually work for real families dealing with real challenges in our community.
We help our neighbors stay in their homes
Our Housing Stability Loan Fund prevents evictions with emergency assistance and low-interest loans. Financial coaches work with you to build budgets, repair credit, and prepare for homeownership. Small business coaching covers business planning, accessing microloans, and connecting with local resources to launch your venture.

Building Stronger Communities Through Money Help
Challenges our clients face
Local families struggle with housing, money troubles, and starting businesses. These challenges keep our communities from growing and doing well.
Housing Problems
Not enough affordable homes and too many evictions leave families without stable places to live.
Money Troubles
Jobs that don’t pay enough and not knowing how to manage money create debt and make it hard to save.
Business Roadblocks
People who want to start businesses can’t get loans, coaching, or help they need to succeed.
How we help
Our programs give direct help, teach money skills, and connect people to resources that solve real problems in our community.
Housing Support
Emergency money help and low-cost loans stop evictions and help families find safe, affordable homes.
Money Coaching & Classes
One-on-one coaching and workshops teach budgeting, credit repair, and smart money habits that last.
Business Help
Free coaching and connections help people get loans, write business plans, and start successful businesses.
