BACKGROUND
Since July 2018, Habitat for Humanity counselors facilitated over 350 one-to-one financial counseling appointments with FSS families. In these meetings, financial counselors work directly with FSS families to develop an individualized budget, review a free copy of the family’s credit report and draft an action plan for accomplishing financial goals. Habitat for Humanity of the East Bay and Silicon Valley also facilitated moe than ten (10) Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Certified Homeownership Workshops with over 400 FSS and Homeownership Path families. These workshops prepare FSS members for the home buying process, promote progress on FSS employment goals and create opportunities for members to join together with peers on the path to self-sufficiency.
