Improve Your Financial Stability

The Syracuse Financial Empowerment Center is a free service to all residents in and around the city of Syracuse, providing professional, one-to-one financial counseling.

The first step is signing up for your appointment! It is as simple as clicking the button above to complete a session request form.

The content of your first session will vary depending on your financial stresses and how you identify your goals. Your counselor will ask you about your financial goals such as wanting to save for school; buying a car; building credit; or simply budgeting for monthly expenses, debt relief, and even retirement. From there, you and your counselor will collaborate to create tangible next steps.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Shanay B.

Shanay came to the FEC to clarify if she was focusing on the right things. Working with Jasminn, Shanay was able to create a budget and pay off her debt. With a “health and wealth mindset”, Shanay is on her way to buying a car and a home!

Carlos G.

"I was having a very tough time with my finances and I was struggling to pay things on time. Now, I have created savings for different things, I have paid off my car, and I have been able to save money for my first house. I have learned a lot and the FEC has made a huge difference in my life!”

Bárbara G.

"Me he reunido con Audriana tres veces y en cada sesión entiendo mejor cómo funciona todo. Espero poder comprar una casa y me enteré de que el estado de Nueva York ofrece asistencia financiera a los compradores de vivienda por primera vez y Home HeadQuarters ofrece clases de educación para compradores de vivienda en español. ¡¡¡No tenía ni idea!!!"
