CLEAN participates in St. John's Family Center HDFC annual summer community event.

Thank you St. John's Family Center HDFC for hosting such a wonderful event for the Crown Heights community. It brought together people of all ages to enjoy food and entertainment while they obtained information on a plethora of services from health, career, education to nutrition, just to name a few.

St. John's does amazing work all year round providing affordable housing to young families in the New York city area, as well as support programs that help their residents create a brighter future. Keep up the great work!

Financially CLEAN launch is right on time with CFPB's recent efforts to bring financial education to the classroom.

We believe there an NO coincidences, that timing is everything AND that EVERYTHING happens for a reason.  Only days after our launch, the Consumer Financial Protection Board (CFPB) released its report, whose findings show that the earlier students learn about financial education, starting as early as kindergarten through twelfth grade, the higher their savings and net worth tend to be later in their adult life.  Read Ashlee Kieler's brilliant article in the Consumerist to learn more.
