The Financial Empowerment Program has social workers who work with community partners to help people living on a low income expand their financial knowledge, reduce debt, grow savings and build assets.

The City's Financial Empowerment Program is temporarily suspended, effective June 27, 2023. For alternative services or financial information, please contact 211 for referrals to active community programs and services.

Are you living on a low income? 
Do you want to explore options to improve your financial situation? 
You have come to the right place. 

This program is free and confidential. Talk with a social worker about your financial questions and problems. They can connect you with resources and information to help increase your financial security. 

We can help you:

  • Get ready for tax filing and find free tax filing clinics

  • Learn about the benefits and supports that may apply to you

  • Solve problems and create action plans 

  • Access the right support and services

  • Talk about your financial problems at your own speed and comfort level
