Money Smart Educational Curriculum Now At TMHA Office

Thanks to a Memorandum of Understanding between the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and HUD to establish a national partnership to promote financial education using Money Smart, the housing authority has been given a copy of the Money Smart curriculum for clients to access.

The FDIC created the Money Smart training program last year to help adults outside the financial mainstream enhance their money management skills to develop positive relationships with financial institutions.

Money Smart features a comprehensive approach to money management issues which includes a vast amount of resource material for students. The Money Smart training curriculum is broken down into 10 individual training modules as follows:

• Bank On It
• Borrowing Basics
• Check It Out
• Money Matters
• Pay Yourself First
• Keep It Safe
• To Your Credit
• Charge It Right
• Loan To Own
• Your Own Home

In order to access this great financial education resource, simply give Marty a call at the TMHA office (see number below).
