Federal Child Tax Credit
About the Federal Child Tax Credit
This year, as part of the American Rescue Plan, the federal Child Tax Credit (CTC) is significantly increased and half of it will be available through direct monthly payments.
Money Action Day
Money Action Day is a virtual financial fitness fair for Twin Cities area residents on June 5. This one-day, online event is designed to connect families to resources, tools and support needed to reach their financial goals. The free event will include workshops on topics from homeownership to building credit, and there will be opportunities to schedule one-on-one meetings with financial experts and counselors.
Money Action Day is presented by Prepare + Prosper in partnership with LSS Financial Counseling and CollegeBound Saint Paul.
Office of Financial Empowerment
Saint Paul established the Office of Financial Empowerment (OFE) in 2019 because economic inequality is a whole-city crisis that demands a whole-city response. OFE coordinates that response in partnership with community leaders, businesses and nonprofits, and low-income Saint Paul residents.
