Budget Counseling

Catholic Charities’ Financial Health Program offers personal, confidential meetings with a counselor to review income, expenses, and debt. A professional counselor will also assist consumers with exploring a variety of options regarding short-term and long-term financial planning.

Getting Started

Our one-hour weekly Info Session describes the program services offered. Clients are given the necessary paperwork, which a budget counselor goes through so clients understand what we’re looking for. After clients return their completed paperwork to us we schedule an appointment.
