| Benefits Assistance and Financial Literacy |
Services include assistance in accessing and maintaining financial and health care benefits. In addition, staff teach financial literacy skills such as budgeting, reducing debt, improving credit rating, avoiding scams, and implementing sound consumer practices.
In addition, participants have the option to use the Vail Place Service Center to initially get their finances under control and develop a plan to transition to an independent checking account at a mainstream financial institution at the appropriate time.
