Key Components of LIFT
Financial Coaching & Education
Participants receive tailored financial mentorship from experts who understand their unique challenges. Topics include budgeting, saving, responsible borrowing, credit-building, and homeownership preparation.
Access to Safe & Affordable Financial Tools
Many individuals lack access to fair, transparent financial products. LIFT connects participants to microloans, credit-building programs, and culturally aligned financial services to help them build stability.
Debt & Credit Support
Many participants come with little to no credit history or struggle with predatory loans. LIFT helps them understand their credit, develop repayment strategies, and access fair financing options to improve their financial standing.
Goal-Based Planning
Every participant has different goals. Some may want to buy a car, secure stable housing, or invest in their children’s future. Regardless of their individual goals, LIFT provides structured planning to help them take realistic steps toward their goals.
Long-Term Economic Empowerment
LIFT is not just about immediate relief but rather about sustainable independence. Participants gain financial confidence, break cycles of poverty, and build a future of security and opportunity.
LIFT is designed for individuals and families who are looking for a way to take control of their financial future but lack the guidance, tools, or access to safe financial services. The program is particularly focused on:
-
Immigrants & Refugees adjusting to the U.S. financial system.
-
Low-income families working toward financial independence.
-
Individuals recovering from financial setbacks and looking to rebuild.
-
Aspiring homeowners and first-time savers who need structured guidance.
