Managing your money can be overwhelming. To help you take control, the City opened additional Financial Empowerment Centers, where you can get free one-on-one financial counseling from a professional counselor.

Financial Empowerment Centers can help when:
You are having trouble managing your budget or paying down debt.
You are getting calls or letters from a debt collector and don't know how to respond.
You are thinking about a debt consolidation loan or debt settlement but are unsure if this is the right step.
You are stuck in an agreement with a credit repair agency and don't know how to get out.
You want to find the government benefits for which you are eligible.
Your identity has been stolen or you have been the victim of a financial scam.
You need help opening a bank account or saving money.

Services are provided for free, in English and Spanish, by phone or in person. You can schedule an appointment at a borough's main Financial Empowerment Center location or a mobile site. Call today!
