ABOUT THE (REAL) FINANCIAL CRISIS

In the South Bronx, more than 80 percent of families have $0 (or less) at the end of each month. These households live paycheck to paycheck, with basically no capacity to save, get out of debt, or plan for the future. We're working to change that. Join us and learn how you can help.

OUR PROGRESS SO FAR 

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT

We utilize a client-centered holistic asset-building approach: 

Client-centered = We empower our clients to identify the challenges they face and to work with us to overcome those obstacles. It begins where the clients are — living paycheck to paycheck, on the verge of bankruptcy, and desperate. 

Holistic = We provide access to high-quality financial and civil legal assistance and offer comprehensive and effective solutions to the social service, psychological, and human needs that they have. 

Impact = Our clients can chart their own paths toward a future of increased assets, reduced vulnerability, and improved financial well-being.
