What It’s Worth: Strengthening the Financial Future of Families, Communities and the Nation

A Connecting Communities Webinar

Tuesday, June 14, 2015 | 1:00 p.m. MST

Every household’s financial health matters to the success of the U.S. economy, but financial insecurity is widespread and impacts a broad range of outcomes, such as health, educational attainment, and employment. A new book, What It’s Worth: Strengthening the Financial Future of Families, Communities and the Nation, examines the systemic causes of financial insecurity, the enormous creativity and innovation already happening to increase financial well-being, and how we can implement proven and emerging solutions.

This Connecting Communities webinar will discuss themes from the book and highlight promising practices for building financial well-being. Topics will include strength-based, multicultural asset development approaches, such as the Lending Circles platform, and ideas on how nonprofit housing organizations can play a role in cross-sector partnerships that promote financial health.
