Financial Education and Empowerment
Participants may benefit from a variety of financial empowerment and asset-building services. These include incentive-based savings plans, credit restoration services, homebuyer education, and homeownership opportunities. Achieving long-term financial success is definitely within reach.
Financial education is about life-long, smart money decisions. You can find out how to set money goals, understand credit scores and credit reports, manage your money, avoid identity theft, avoid predatory lending, learn about banking relationships, and understand employment opportunities.
To get started, you must first attend an orientation session by calling (520) 882-5383 x162 or email education@primavera.org to register.
Orientations are offered on Mondays in English or Wednesdays in Spanish. Both orientations and classes are held at our Administrative Offices in the Jim & Vicki Click Training Center, 151 W. 40th St., Tucson, AZ

testimonial
A dream come true!
Meet Ms. Duron:
She holds the keys to her new Primavera home made possible by a grant from Project Reinvest: Neighborhoods and homeownership’s extra efforts to find additional combined resources of over $47,000.
This will keep her mortgage payment affordable both now and when she retires soon.
The grant supports the creation of four new, single-family homes for first-time homebuyers on formerly distressed lots.
