Boost For Our Heroes

Boost For Our Heroes is a financial assistance and education program that benefits military members, veterans and their families. This program provides a variety of workshops, outreach efforts, and one-on-one consultations to help men and women experiencing a financial hardship become financially stable.

Educational programs focus on seven main topics: development of a savings plan, fundamentals of buying a house and car, mastering the military transition, workplace readiness, understanding and utilizing credit, and debt management.

Obstacles currently faced by our military personnel

• ●Low pay rates for enlisted military members with a 46 percent higher cost of living in San Diego compared to other military locations throughout the United States.
• ●Transition into civilian life can lead to long periods of unemployment or underemployment, which forces increased usage of credit cards, payday loans and other high-interest borrowing.
• ●Predatory lending techniques geared toward military personnel.
