- Developing a household budget and establishing savings
- Buying a home
- Naturalization fees affordability
- Credit counseling
CASA provides individual and group-based financial education and assistance that includes:
- Individual financial counseling
- Workshops on issues such as obtaining identification documents, opening a bank account, writing a check, using a debit card, debt analysis, financial planning, and obtaining and improving one’s credit score.
- Access to micro-loans and fee waiver applications for immigration processes.
We also help people with homeownership.
