The institute, which is still in its early stages, will focus on providing a range of services including financial counseling, job training, and access to affordable housing.

Services Offered
- Financial Counseling: The institute will provide free or low-cost financial counseling services to individuals struggling with debt, budgeting, and credit management.

Community Support
The institute is already receiving support from local community organizations and businesses. “We’re excited to partner with this new organization and help them achieve their mission,” said Sarah Johnson, CEO of the Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce.
