Description
LISC is pleased to announce the launch of its Financial Opportunity Center Social Innovation Fund. The fund will be used to support an integrated service model that focuses on improving the financial situation for low-to-moderate income families by helping people boost earnings, reduce expenses, and make appropriate financial decisions that lead to asset building. The centers provide individuals and families with services across three critical and interconnected areas:
- employment placement, job retention and skill improvement;
- financial coaching and counseling; and
- accessing income supports/public benefits
LISC is seeking proposals from community-based organizations, community colleges and other 501(c)3 or educational institutions located in the following cities: Chicago, IL; Greater Cincinnati, OH (including Northern Kentucky); Metropolitan Detroit, MI; Duluth, MN; Houston, TX; Indianapolis, IN; Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN; Providence and Woonsocket, RI; San Diego, CA; and the San Francisco Bay Area, CA (including Oakland, Richmond, San Francisco, and San Jose).
For organizations interested in applying as new Financial Opportunity Centers, the webinar briefly recaps the program model and review LISC's RFP requirements and process. (For more information or to download a copy of the RFP, visit www.lisc.org/SIF.)
