Feel stuck? Our coaches have your back.
The Financial Empowerment Center is a free service provided by the City of Aurora and the Neighbor Project to help you reclaim financial independence. Here’s how.
Free coaching, in English o en español.

Your partner on the path to freedom.
At your first session, your financial coach will talk with you about your goals and complete a Financial Health Assessment.
Then, you’ll make a plan together.
Your next sessions will help you apply the plan, finding specific steps to take and changes you can make to build a strong foundation. Get referrals to other resources in the community, from housing and foreclosure help to benefits guidance, food services and more.
