VIRTUAL-BASIC FINANCIAL skills

Hands Anonymous Project

 

Virtual-Basic Financial Education Program helps people prevent homelessness and achieve financial security through case management, education, and emergency financial assistance. In addition, the program is a bridge between families and other organizations that provide financial assistance, including utilities, rental expenses, and mortgage payments.

 

ELIGIBILITY

 

  • Must be a resident of Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, St Bernard, St Tammany, St. Charles, St; John the Baptist, and St. James Parish.

  • Must be experiencing a financial crisis that puts housing at risk

  • Qualifying financial hardship must be recent (within the last 45 days of requesting assistance)

  • The client must be at a point where up to 12 months of case management and limited financial assistance will suffice to stabilize housing and build self-sufficiency skills

  • Must gather all documentation required to determine eligibility before enrolling as an applicant in the program

  • Financial assistance is dependent on the creation of and adherence to a collaborative plan for obtaining financial stability

  • Financial assistance will vary from one individual/household to another and is not guaranteed.  

 

 

Traveling to one of our office locations for financial education is often not convenient for distance, traffic, and work schedule. However, current technology can connect our team with clients no matter where they live. We had one thing in mind when considering this new service, increasing access to provide financial education for the many individuals who are currently unable to access services due to distance or cost.
