Please join Rhode Island LISC and Family Resources Community Action with special guests Woonsocket Mayor Leo Fontaine and Michael Rubinger, national LISC President and CEO, as we celebrate the launch of Northern Rhode Island's 1st Financial Opportunity Center.
Centers at Amos House, Dorcas Place Adult & Family Learning Center, Family Resources Community Action, the Providence Housing Authority and The Genesis Center will empower low income residents with the information they need to gain financial literacy, find jobs and build their assets. Services offered at the center will include budgeting, debt management and financial coaching as well as job training and placement.
The Rhode Island grants were made possible by a national award from the Corporation for National and Community Service's Social Innovation Fund, a $4.2 million program to expand similar centers in 10 metropolitan areas nationwide, The Walmart Foundation, The Annie E. Casey Foundation, the City of Providence, Making Connections Providence, Bank of America and United Way of Rhode Island.
