Financial Literacy With the Goal of Home Ownership
Dear Friends:
Due to strong support from our community during the past 10 years, Marin Family Action has been able to turn around thousands of lives by guiding families away from financial stress to fiscal responsibility. The long term goal is home ownership which leads to stability for individuals and for our towns.
Financial literacy is not taught in California schools. Many people are in trouble financially simply because they lack rudimentary budgeting skills: Our goal is to bridge that gap. Our workshops, website and literature help develop the confidence individuals need to make sound decisions and move forward comfortably with control rather than living a stressful life.
Financial acumen is needed now more than ever yet it is not taught in California schools. Many people are in trouble financially simply because they lack rudimentary budgeting skills.

Marin Family Action serves 4,800 families per year directly. Each year, more than 2,000 schoolchildren and adults successfully complete Marin Family Action’s financial literacy workshops. Everyone benefits from intelligent financial decisions. Also, MarinFamilyAction.org receives an average of 37,764 visitors from people all over the United States

When reading any news stories, please take note of terms such as “may be,” “should be,” “might be.” Those are nebulous and mean nothing unless our government takes action. We hope officials step up to the plate, but so far, efforts are less than satisfactory.
