Details
Unique to the FEC model is its emphasis on local government; a trusted voice for residents amidst a sea of scams and complicated financial choices, and that can connect financial counseling to administration priorities that build financial stability. Local governments also have a mandate to provide high-quality services at scale, and to do so with an eye towards ongoing sustainability, ideally through public funds. Join to learn about integrated financial counseling as a public service with a focus on the connections between financial stability and housing stability. Presenters will share lessons learned about FEC municipal counseling and service partnerships broadly, as well as from a recent CFE Fund pilot to connect eviction prevention with FEC financial counseling, and share how funders can encourage and support this important work in their own communities.
