Each course <br />is an interactive, hands-on module Members complete with the help of a volunteer <br />Advocate to work towards their personal goals, such as budgeting, reducing credit, or <br />building savings. <br />● One-on-one support obtaining housing and securing employment through setting and <br />achieving personalized goals, resource access and navigation, and continued follow- <br />up. <br /> <br /> <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: A24D2229-012E-4233-A6F8-624A53BCF7DA
