For Families
CWFs help build stronger employment connections as well as income and wealth.
The Center for Working Families (CWF) helps low-income families reach financial stability through innovative framework and bringing together a full range of essential economic supports.
The CWF assumes that many low-income families have dreams of financial well-being, but do not have access to the supports and services to help them achieve their aspirations. Whether they’re stuck in low-wage jobs, working without benefits, struggling with debt, or having difficulty with financial institutions, the CWF has a diverse support network and services to help.
The CWF concept has been prototyped in communities across the United States, reaching over 25,000 low-income families. Nearly half of those enrolled in CWF programs became employed and are connected to work supports.
