Financial Stability

We know that healthy, sustainable communities are made up of people who have living wage jobs and feel confident about their economic futures. To get there, residents need the skills to advance along the path of employment and manage their money well. That’s why LISC invests in helping people tackle all the facets of financial life—earning a steady pay check, budgeting, building good credit and saving for education and retirement. 

LISC’s financial stability programs connect families living on a low- to moderate-income with the financial and labor market mainstream. We offer employment and career services, financial coaching and education and low-cost financial products that build credit, savings and assets. 

Our financial stability initiatives include a national network of 130 Financial Opportunity Centers (FOCs), including seven FOCs in Connecticut and Bridges to Career Opportunities (BCO) programs.
