Financial Opportunity Center® Network
LISC Virginia's Financial Opportunity Center® (FOC) network is our primary vehicle used to help families achieve economic stability. Based on the Center for Working Families model created by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, FOC programs focus on improving the financial bottom line for low-to-moderate income families. Financial Opportunity Center partners provide services across three areas: employment placement and career improvement; financial education and coaching; and public benefits access.
Our FOC network helps to increase financial stability for residents in neighborhoods throughout Central Virginia. Increased financial stability is a priority in the neighborhoods we serve and our innovative approach prepares individuals for the workplace and beyond.
LISC Virginia brought the first Financial Opportunity Center ® program to Virginia in 2012, and now includes four FOC partners across Richmond and Petersburg.
