FINANCIAL
Few of us are taught sound money management. This is a time when it is easy to make mistakes that can have long lasting consequences to our financial welfare. Look at these resources for tips for all households on steps to take in financially uncertain times, financial counseling and coaching, including consumer credit, student loans, mortgage deferment, financial disaster budgeting, building and maintaining credit, help applying for federal assistance programs, and help for small business startups. Forums include one-on-one counseling and virtual workshops. If you need immediate financial relief for food, housing or other essential services, go to the 2-1-1 link or dial 2-1-1.
