WHEDCo works with families in the Bronx who struggle with the multiple challenges presented by poverty, and who, like all of us, aspire to a healthy, financially stable future. WHEDCo offers interconnected, innovative, and high quality solutions – including the building of healthy, affordable homes – and because of this, the Bronx is a more beautiful, more equitable, and more economically vibrant place to live and raise a family.

Today is Saturday, July 4

Community Events & Updates:

Financial Education Training

Thanks to WHEDCo program directors, community members, The Office of Congressman Jose E. Serrano, the Federal Trade Commission, Credit Where Credit Is Due, Legal Aid Society Community Development Project and UNHP for making the Financial Education Training event such a success! The FREE community Financial Education Training held at Intervale Green on June 29th surpassed our goal: over 40 people attended, which means more South Bronx residents came away MONEY SMART!



All the presenters along with representatives from Congressman Serrano’s Office
and WHEDCo gather to say: Whew! All DONE!


The event empowered community members with the tools and resources to take charge of their financial goals; local financial experts offered practical advice to common money questions ranging from how to repair your credit history to the facts about Immigrant’s Banking Rights.
