This brief details how the FEC model’s partnership and integration process worked in the five replication cities, and is excerpted from the CFE Fund’s full report, An Evaluation of Financial Empowerment Centers: Building People’s Financial Stability As a Public Service. The brief highlights key strategies for developing partnerships and integrating counseling into other social services, both of which are vital components of the FEC model. Partnerships both facilitate the counseling delivery and ensure a flow of financial counseling clients referred through a diverse range of municipal and community partnerships.

The CFE Fund held a 15-minute webinar on this topic; watch the webinar here, and view the presentation here.
