Our Approach
Our work begins and ends with a fundamental, unwavering belief in people and in their ability to achieve their goals and dreams.
We partner with families with low incomes to build assets as a pathway out of poverty. We focus on reaching families led by Black and/or Latinx women.
To achieve our mission, we operate client-centered savings and financial coaching programs, deliver training and technical assistance to other practitioners, and shape policy solutions that dismantle barriers to asset building.

In 2022, Compass set out on a seven-year strategic plan to expand our work on FSS in three areas:
We will work with our current partners to continue to implement our high-impact model for the FSS program, and seek to partner with additional large public housing authorities and private affordable housing owners
We will further explore and refine our field-building, training, and technical assistance offerings for other FSS practitioners
We will increase our capacity to shape policy, leveraging our work on the ground to push for the change we know is possible.
