Nearly 50 cities across the country have entered into a federal program called the Cities for Financial Empowerment Fund, that’s been around for about a decade to help cities fund efforts to help give their citizens in financial trouble counseling to help them become better managers of their money.
The City of Jackson announced this week their plans to utilize their grant that was awarded to them late last year as they unveiled their CityStart Financial Empowerment Blueprint, which is a plan for support and encouragement for residents for multiple years.
