Empowered Cities
Empowered Cities is a new initiative that engages municipalities and community partners across the U.S. to design, test and deliver innovative and scalable solutions to expand financial empowerment and financial inclusion for persons with disabilities. Empowered Cities is a partnership between Citi Community Development and National Disability Institute.
Through Empowered Cities, resources, tools and trainings are being developed to build the knowledge of key stakeholders and support implementation of financial empowerment initiatives for people with disabilities. A key goal of this initiative is to promote collaboration between municipalities, disability service providers and financial stability/financial inclusion partners.
