Navicore Solutions has provided financial capability services for over 25 years and has witnessed firsthand the need for these programs. While statistically, foreclosure and unemployment rates are down and the economy is improving, millions of Americans are still struggling, directly and indirectly, from the effects of the Great Recession. This Program will help not only those that have been unable to regain the losses they incurred over the past decade, but also those that have not been able to get ahead because of obstacles such as underemployment, default/foreclosure housing issues, credit and student loan debt, and poor credit.
Through this grant award, thousands of households across the county will receive financial counseling and coaching services from a qualified professional to help overcome hardships and achieve financial goals.
