Financial Capability Program

Financial capability is the capacity, based on knowledge, skill and access, to manage financial resources effectively. The program helps low-to-moderate income clients develop this capacity by providing free tax preparation, one- on-one financial coaching, financial crisis intervention, workshops and access to partner financial services.

Through an Integrative Personalized Intervention model, financial education and skill building are provided through one- on-one sessions. An important component of Financial Capability is providing clients with access to the Individual Development Account (IDA) program, a matched savings program assisting low income individuals saving to purchase a home, start a business, or pursue a post- secondary education.

FAST FACTS:

  • Clients who have not filed tax returns in recent years may still receive tax preparation services
  • Clients who earn up to $64k with a family of four could be eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
  • Program works with clients who have had a financial crisis that has resulted in bad credit and unpaid bills and would like to rebuild their credit
  • Some individuals may be asked to provide a tax return in order to receive Financial Capability services
  • Program encourages referrals from staff working with clients in other SNHS programs
