The Financial Capability Program is in all of the Family Success Centers throughout Broward County. There is one Financial Coach at each Family Success Center. The Financial Coaches work one-on-one monthly with residents to help develop individualized financial goals, foster good financial management practices, and assist with help to achieve the following:
- Develop a sustainable budget.
- Establish or improve credit.
- Understand secure banking options.
- Design a financial plan to build assets.
- Establish a savings.
- Build financial confidence.
The Financial Capability Program offers monthly workshops to educate residents on a variety of financial topics. The workshops are facilitated on the Zoom teleconferencing platform by the financial coaches and offered during the day and evening. If you are interested in attending a workshop, please register at the link below.
Match Savings Component
The Match Savings Component of the Financial Capability Program is a program modeled after the Assets for Independence Grant Program (AFI), a federal grant program that helps low to middle-income residents become financially independent through financial education and assistance. The Match Savings Component helps with first-time homeownership, purchasing or repairing a vehicle, returning to school, condominium special assessment, hurricane home improvement protection, major home repair, and security deposit. The Match Savings Component program participants are Broward County residents who work one-on-one with a financial coach to set and accomplish their financial goals. The program participants meet monthly with a financial coach and are required to accomplish at least three financial goals, participate in financially themed workshops, maintain a monthly budget, complete assignments related to financial education and literacy, and create a savings plan based on affordability that is determined by the program participant and the financial coach.
