Financial Literacy

EDHRC offers clients workshop classes in person, one-on-one, and group sessions. EDHRC provides a monthly 1-hour financial literacy workshop. It is comprehensive financial education curriculum designed to help an individual development a fundamental understanding of finance. After the workshop, each participant meets one-on-one with a housing counsellor to establish a plan of action specific to the client’s needs. EDHRC also teaches financial literacy to the youth ages 12-17.

EDHRC’s Financial Literacy program is committed to empowering individuals and families with the knowledge and skills needed to make informed and effective financial decisions. Through in-person workshops, group sessions, and one-on-one counseling, clients gain a solid foundation in key financial topics such as budgeting, saving, credit management, debt reduction, and understanding banking services. The monthly 1-hour financial literacy workshop is designed to be interactive and practical, helping participants build real-world financial habits that support long-term stability. After completing the workshop, every participant receives personalized attention through a one-on-one session with a certified housing counselor, where a customized action plan is created to meet their specific goals—whether it’s improving credit, reducing debt, or planning for a major purchase like a home or education.
