The network helps Ottawa community organizations serve vulnerable populations, particularly those with low incomes, for the benefit of their clients in terms of financial literacy. Some of these groups are:
- The homeless
- Youth
- Newcomers
- Persons with mental illness
- Older adults
- Women (single parents, in shelters, etc.)
The network does not think that financial literacy level as being “THE” simple and only solution to help eradicate poverty, but a key component, in order to solve a very complex social issue.
