Your Money, Your Goals: A Financial Empowerment Toolkit for Social Services Programs

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, in partnership with ICF International, released a toolkit that intends to equip frontline program staff with fundamental financial empowerment principles, an understanding of consumer financial protection, tools and information to help clients take steps to build and apply money management skills, and a referral guide to link clients to local financial empowerment services. Financial empowerment trainers can use the toolkit to train case managers and other frontline staff that are working with clients in a variety of contexts: asset building programs, TANF and workforce programs, Head Start, refugee resettlement services, programs for at-risk youth, programs serving people with disabilities, and more.
