How FSS Works
You are likely eligible for the Compass FSS program if you receive financial assistance for housing, such as a Section 8 voucher, mobile housing voucher, or if your rent is based on your income. Click here to learn more about who is eligible.
Not working right now? Then it's a PERFECT time to join. If you ever start working again and your rent goes up, you'll save the rent increase!
Program Benefits
Hear from our Clients
“The program made me feel encouraged to look for a job and to pay off my debt, and I’ve learned how to respond to creditors. This program is an opportunity to move forward… and call the shots in my own life.”
- Marcia, Client
“With Compass’s guidance, I was able to do the impossible. It was hard work to cut down on my spending, pay off debt, save money, and fix my credit, but thanks to them… I was able to buy my own home and open my own business.”

Hear from our Coaches
You can expect your Compass financial coach to be a caring, thoughtful, listener who maintains a judgment-free zone.
“Some of my favorite aspects of financial coaching are seeing how clients start to believe in themselves and that they can achieve their goals and dreams. I love to see their smiles, and I love celebrating their successes and listening to their powerful stories.”
