Just this week GTA was approved for membership in the Alameda County Community Assets Network (AC CAN), a working group of service providers and advocates working together to increase the income and assets of Alameda County residents. AC CAN’s mission is right in line with GTA’s mission to get financial information into the hands of the most economically vulnerable members of our community.
One of the AC CAN projects that we are really excited to be a part of is developing the Savvy Consumer Curriculum, a set of learning modules about financial products, like payday lenders, that educates and offers alternatives for people in need of those products.
