April is Financial Literacy Month, and HomeRise is proud to reaffirm our commitment to financial empowerment for both our residents and staff. We believe that knowledge is the first step toward financial independence and long-term stability. That’s why this month, we’re amplifying our efforts through strategic partnerships with Lutheran Social Service, Conard House, and Tenderloin Housing Clinic to provide critical financial literacy education across our communities.

Throughout April, HomeRise is offering a range of workshops and resources designed to build essential money management skills. Topics include budgeting, saving, understanding credit, and navigating financial systems—all geared toward helping participants gain confidence and control over their finances.

“Financial literacy is a foundational skill that everyone deserves access to, especially those working to overcome housing instability,” said Katriel Spiker, Director of Resident Services at HomeRise. “By partnering with these mission-aligned organizations, we’re creating opportunities for learning, empowerment, and sustainable growth.”

These financial literacy initiatives are part of our broader mission to uplift and support the communities we serve. By equipping individuals with practical tools and information, we aim to foster greater independence and resilience.

Let’s work together this Financial Literacy Month to invest in brighter futures—because money matters, and knowledge is power.
