City treasurer announces free five-part financial literacy series in partnership with United Way SparkPoint
Summary
The City Treasurer announced a partnership with United Way SparkPoint to offer five free progressive financial workshops beginning Nov. 12 at the Central Library; the Fair Housing Foundation will provide one-on-one counseling to participants.
Huntington Beach — City Treasurer Jason Schmidt announced on Oct. 21 a new partnership with United Way’s SparkPoint program to deliver five free financial-literacy workshops for residents this winter.
Schmidt said the classes will run monthly, beginning Wednesday, Nov. 12 at 5:30 p.m. at the Central Library, and will cover budgeting, banking, building an emergency fund, improving credit, and similar personal-finance topics. The Fair Housing Foundation will offer free one-on-one counseling to class participants, Schmidt said, and sign-up was live following the announcement.
The treasurer described the series as progressive (participants are encouraged to attend all five sessions) but said staff are working with United Way to explore whether recorded or Zoom versions can be provided for residents who cannot attend in person. The city’s public affairs and community services teams were credited for arranging space and outreach.
