The Miami-Dade County Community Action and Human Services Department (CAHSD), in collaboration with Dade County Federal Credit Union (DCFCU), has announced the launch of a groundbreaking financial literacy initiative aimed at empowering residents with essential financial knowledge and skills.
This partnership is designed to enhance financial self-sufficiency and promote effective household financial management across the county.
“Empowering our residents with financial knowledge is key to building a stronger, more self-sufficient Miami-Dade,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “This partnership between the Community Action and Human Services Department and Dade County Federal Credit Union will provide essential resources that help families make informed financial decisions, reduce debt, and achieve long-term economic stability. We are committed to ensuring financial wellness is within reach for all members of our community.”
Accessible through Miami-Dade County’s official CAHSD website, this new virtual financial literacy platform will provide residents with critical resources, including budgeting tools, credit management guidance, savings strategies, and pathways to financial wellness. By leveraging DCFCU’s expertise and CAHSD’s expansive reach, the initiative aims to support individuals and families in making informed financial decisions, reducing debt, and building long-term economic stability.
“Financial literacy is a cornerstone of self-sufficiency, and we are committed to equipping our residents with the tools they need to succeed,” said Sonia Grice, director of the Miami-Dade County Community Action and Human Services Department. “Through this partnership with Dade County Federal Credit Union, we are ensuring that financial wellness is within reach for all members of our community.”
The virtual financial literacy platform will be available under the “More Services” section of the CAHSD website, making it easily accessible to residents seeking financial guidance and education. This initiative aligns with Miami-Dade County’s ongoing commitment to economic empowerment and community development, reinforcing the County’s dedication to providing innovative solutions that uplift and support residents.
“We are honored to collaborate with Miami-Dade County to bring financial literacy tools and educational content to our community,” said George Joseph, CEO of Dade County Federal Credit Union. “Helping residents gain financial independence is at the heart of our mission, and this partnership allows us to expand our reach and impact.”
The new financial literacy initiative is available immediately in various language, offering interactive content, workshops, and personalized financial planning resources. Residents are encouraged to explore the platform and take advantage of the available tools to enhance their financial well-being.
