What is SAFE?
Supporting Access to Financial Empowerment (SAFE) is an initiative launched by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and IRC’s Center for Economic Opportunity (CEO) to empower immigrant communities as they begin their journey to financial stability and economic security in their new homes across the U.S.
The three key components of SAFE are:
- In-language web portal that serves as access to all SAFE services and is available to newly arrived families no matter where they resettle in the U.S. regardless of which resettlement agency provided initial resettlement services.
- In-language financial education and coaching services offered through a network of SAFE financial coaches to help provide an understanding of American banking.
- Offering low interest and fee-based rates for Auto, Education, Immigration and Personal Loans. With 0% APR for credit-building loans.
Thank you to the donors who are generously supporting our SAFE project.
