The City of Lansing and Cristo Rey Community Center have partnered to offer free one-on-one financial counseling through the Financial Empowerment Center (FEC).
The FEC was brought to Lansing in March 2013 by a 3-year grant from the Cities for Financial Empowerment (CFE) Fund with support from Bloomberg Philanthropies. Today, it is funded by the City's General Fund, federal Community Development Block Grant dollars, and contributions from local and national corporations and foundations.
The FEC is available to anyone; there are no restrictions based on income or life circumstances. Our mission is to educate, empower, and protect individuals and their families.
