Financial Empowerment Changes Lives!

As part of our commitment to address key community issues, United Way of Washtenaw County has developed strategies to positively impact the financial stability of our citizens.

The goal is to help move people toward greater economic self-sufficiency
and away from the safety- net services that are designed for use during crisis situations. Building the financial stability of individuals and families is critical to fueling our county's economic growth and progress to create a thriving community
for everyone.

Here's how we are doing it.

Mobile Financial Resource Team Providing both free one-on-one financial coaching and workshops to individuals and group workshops on credit repair, budgeting and saving, banking benefits,
predatory lending and other issues.
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program Free tax assistance provided by trained volunteers and professionals to low-income individuals and families.

To date over 500 people have benefited from one-on-one coaching and financial literacy workshops with topics such as budgeting and credit repair, to help the gain
a financial foothold!
