WELCOME
The Financial Clinic, exists to build working poor people's financial security. We do this by addressing their immediate financial challenges and then help create trajectories for long-term goals and financial mobility. By creating stability for our customers and providing expertise to our partners, we are also shaping policy and leading the field of financial development.

One-in-four New Yorkers have earnings that put them in a wage gap: "Too rich" to qualify for government benefits, yet "too poor" to be considered financially secure. They are working and earning a paycheck, but cannot afford basic necessities, much less plan for their future. Financial development addresses this need because it helps people cope with the myriad financial challenges as they try to make ends meet, while simultaneously transcending the immediate crisis by focusing on financial goals. |
