Financial literacy is the key that unlocks the door to economic empowerment. It’s not just about understanding numbers; it’s about mastering the language of wealth and making informed choices that pave the way to financial freedom.”
As a HUD-approved housing counseling agency, GROWTH plays a crucial role in helping clients increase their financial literacy, understand credit, create budgets, purchase homes, and plan.
