Our staff is extensively trained to educate and empower individuals and families with the tools needed to identify and address key issues in their own households and neighborhoods. We identify the root causes of our clients’ challenges with credit and debt, so families can build their financial capability and progress on the pathway to attainable homeownership. We also bring financial sustainability through financial literacy, asset building, homeownership access, and workforce mobility. We have two Prosperity Centers (located in West Palm Beach and in Belle Glade) providing low-income residents with a one-stop location for comprehensive financial empowerment services.

- Individual Development Account (IDA) Program – Matched-savings for first-time homebuyers and assistance with closing costs and/or down payments

- Education and Career Assistance – Planning for success and economic independence
