Prosperity Program

What is the Prosperity Program?

The goal of the Prosperity Program is to empower you to get to where you want to be. We start by asking you to share your goals and dreams. Then we help you create plans to make those dreams become reality. Whether you want to go to school, purchase a car, provide for your family, own a house, get a job or get a better job; this program will guide you to the resources it takes to increase earnings, reduce financial costs and generate financial stability for yourself and your family.

This is a free service offered in partnership with United Way and other local organizations. As a Prosperity Program member you will receive the skills needed to move up in the labor market. You will also be empowered to improve access to the financial mainstream where you can make the most of the money you do have.

What Services Do Members Receive? 

As a Prosperity Program member you will have access to a Prosperity Planner. Together, you will develop a plan to help achieve success and generate new financial capability. Prosperity Planners will assist you to achieve success in a variety of areas including:

• Helping you get a job, or move up to a better job.
• Providing access to training and education programs for yourself or your family.
• Coordinating a personalized financial plan including budgeting, debt reduction, savings and investments.
• Accessing financial services.
• Connecting you with housing programs.
• Connecting you with income supports and tax assistance.

One of the many tools offered through our Prosperity Program is assistance in applying and planning for Oregon Individual Development Account (IDA) program. We offer employment focused IDA options for education, transportation and First Impression dental. This is a matched savings program designed to help individuals learn to build assets and become financially empowered.
