We've got the tools you need to get F.I.T!
Our Financial Independence for Tomorrow (F.I.T.) program currently offers two series to help you become F.I.T.
Our Financial Wellness series guides you through budget and credit basics, how to prioritize bills when money is tight, and so much more. This class is in a group setting. We encourage a one-on-one follow-up to personalize a budget or credit plan. It is completely free and confidential.
Our Pre-Purchase Home Buying series walks you through the steps to purchase a home. Class is conducted in a group setting, with the option to schedule one-on-one counseling.
Our program and housing counselors have all gone through rigorous testing and requirements and are all certified by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Call 814-452-6113 x206 or email housing@stmartincenter.org to register for either class! Both classes are completely free.
We're proud to partner with Erie County Library System to broadcast classes to various library locations! Register to join at their location: events.erielibrary.org. (Note each location on the flyer.)

St. Martin Center promotes Fair Housing. The Fair Housing Act is a Federal law that protects people from housing discrimination based on the basis of: race, color, national, origin, sex, religion, disability, and familial status (familial status means the presence of children under 18 in a household, pregnant women or anyone in the process of adopting or securing legal custody of a child). You can report discrimination at 267-419-8918, info@equalhousing.org, or through equalhousing.org.
Notification of the right to interpretation services will be included on all announcements for meetings/appointments/workshops to which clients or the public are invited to participate when necessary in order to address special language or communication needs that may arise. TTY services may be utilized for clients who are hearing impaired.
Federal nondiscrimination laws define a person with a disability to include any (1) individual with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; (2) individual with a record of such impairment; or (3) individual who is regarded as having such an impairment.
