Where to go
There are FEC counselors across Rochester at locations convenient to you. We've intentionally partnered with organizations that provide essential services so you can receive financial counseling when and where it is convenient for you.
"One special aspect of Rochester Financial Empowerment Center that I am passionate about is the client-counselor relationship. Changes and empowerment happen when respect and trust are established. Our goal is to be interested in our clients, to hear them and to see them as valued individuals. My hope is that they would leave the session thinking she/he really understands me, I have options, and I see a path forward."
- Mina Hatami, FEC Manager
