About the Program
Category: Human Services (Best in Category)
Year: 2015
CASH-N services are provided to help families take control of their money to gain control of their lives by teaching financial education, understanding their relationship with money, identifying sabotaging behaviors and helping teach new behaviors that lead to financial and economic stability. In order to remove the stigma from receiving social services, our financial wrap-around services are provided in our Career Plus Center. The program has been fully operational since 2010, with funding from TANF allowing us to utilize a full time social work position and provide financial incentives to the families receiving services.
