A resource for data, insights, and evidence to improve household financial security
Despite concerns about the economy and their personal finances, many young adults are optimistic about their financial futures and are using both traditional and speculative financial strategies to build wealth and plan for the future.
The Financial Well-Being Hub brings together data, insights, and stakeholders from across sectors to help changemakers understand people’s financial lives and address their most pressing challenges. Through research, data tools, convenings, and partnerships, we provide policymakers, community leaders, and businesses with evidence-based solutions to ensure all people have the financial security to invest in their futures, provide for their families, and live with dignity.
Host public and private events that convene policymakers, financial service providers, community organizations, and researchers to discuss timely issues and identify cross-sector solutions.
We are looking for partners, funders, and other leaders to support our work.
The Financial Well-Being Hub is funded by PNC Bank, U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo Foundation, Annie E. Casey Foundation, and The Connecticut Project. We are grateful to them and to all our funders, who make it possible for Urban to advance its mission.
The Steering Committee meets regularly to inform the strategic direction of the Financial Well-Being Hub.
