Residents of Katie's House Foundation are required to complete The Normalize Money Project® formal curriculum so they can learn to manage their credit score, loans, insurance and financial documents. Teens and adults need this education to identify their strengths and weaknesses, obtain a job they love, increase their earnings, create a short term and long term plan, consider a significant other, children, and more. They must learn to manage the forever ebbs and flows of life!
Using The Normalize Money Project® Katie's House Foundation offers a viable exit strategy to permanently reduce housing instability.
Obtaining this very specific financial education can prevent a lifetime cycle of co-dependency and potential for homelessness and addiction.
