COVID-19 Resources
As a result of COVID-19, many are concerned about their health as well as their financial wellbeing. The last thing we want is for people to worry about damage to their credit during this time. Nonprofits are often at the front lines of support for households, while also navigating unprecedented uncertainty. To this end, we have compiled resources that will be updated to support you in your work. If you are offering and willing to share a service or resource that may be available to the broader credit building community, please let us know. Lastly, do not hesitate to reach out if CBA can be of support to you during this time.
