During coaching sessions, we assessed participants’ financial circumstances, addressed financial challenges, and helped identify goals participants defined for themselves. These financial coaching sessions allowed participants to

• partner with HomeFirst to work toward their goals • participate in one-on-one meetings during our three-month financial coaching program • receive knowledge, support, and resources for successful homeownership

establish and improve essential financial skills, including: • Savings • Money Management • Access to Banking • Credit Building • Debt Reduction • Homebuyer Readiness

Participants had an opportunity to investigate HomeFirst and understand all risks associated that potentially accompany participation in financial coaching. HomeFirst recognizes that homeownership may not have been a viable goal for each of the participants during their time of enrollment; however,
