MOBILE, Ala. — The City of Mobile Office of Supplier Diversity and Community Affairs Department will host a free financial boot camp for interested community members this Saturday.

This event is tailor-made for Mobilians who want to learn more about improving their personal finances or starting a business. The “Money Moves Bootcamp” on Saturday, April 27, will bring in local experts to share pertinent information on achieving financial freedom, building credit, and making your money work harder for you. There will also be more detailed information about City resources dedicated to helping Mobilians improve their finances and chart a path to homeownership.

Some of those resources include Down Payment Assistance for first-time homebuyers, Credit Repair, and the HoPE (Home Ownership Provides Equity) program, which helps qualifying residents use housing vouchers to pay off a home they can outright own. Whether you want to learn more about budgeting, saving, getting the capital to start a business, or accessing available resources, the Money Moves Bootcamp will provide helpful information.

We hope many community members will take advantage of this opportunity. Some of the partners participating in Saturday’s boot camp include the Strikers Club Inc., Bank On Alabama and Bishop State Community College. The Money Moves Bootcamp will be held from 1:30 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 27, at the Sullivan Community Center (351 N Catherine Street).

The event is free, but space is limited. Those who want to participate are asked to pre-register. The online registration form can be found by clicking here. Please email questions to Archnique Kidd, the City of Mobile’s Supplier Diversity Manager, at [email protected].
