Community Action Week

Family Self-Reliance Resources

Nearly everyone has been affected by our strained economy. In all of the financial chaos, misinformation and even fraud are prevalent. To provide a trusted place to turn, KBYU Eleven pulled together a bit of “economic cents” to give direction and resources in the crisis. Beyond KBYU Eleven, there are many organizations and resources that can help, including Community Action. Call 2-1-1 Information and Referral to find the right resources for you.

Click here for KBYU Eleven - "Economic Cents". You will find video and information on finances and family relationships, mortgage fraud, preventing foreclosure, how to find resources, employment and more.
