Family Self-Sufficiency program offers life changing opportunity for families
Linda Marcinkiewicz, FSS Family Advisor
We’re excited to announce that the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS) is moving forward with Phase IV and will begin recruiting new participants in January 2012. We will be holding information sessions for individuals who are interested in learning more about this financial literacy and asset-building program for families.
FSS has provided supportive programming to families in the Greater Victoria region since 2002 and over the next three years, will continue to provide opportunities for families who live in subsidized housing and want to move forward to financial self-sufficiency. Participants will be partnered with a Family Advisor while they plan for the future, set goals related to employment and finances, increase their financial knowledge, build workable budgets and access an opportunity to build savings.
FSS will provide additional opportunities through partnerships with community agencies who are interested in offering free financial literacy training to the people who use their programs and communities.
If you would like more information about the program or how to get involved, please call BGCA at 250-388-5251 and ask to speak to someone in the FSS Program.
