Increase Savings and Reduce Debt
Transforming Family Finances
Family Financial Transformations (FFT) is a program that helps individuals or families increase their savings or reduce debt through an individualized financial coaching plan. We work with participants’ values and goals to create a plan that works. Joy is a necessity, so judgment is never part of the process.
FFT is a one-year program that includes wrap-around case management in addition to financial courses for the whole family—starting with family members as young as eight years old.
