It's completely free! As an American Housing resident, all coaching services are covered at 100% - including your initial consultation and all follow-up sessions. This is an exclusive benefit provided by American Housing to support your financial journey. There are no hidden fees or costs at any point.

You'll meet with your coach weekly or monthly at first until you're well on your way to achieving your financial goals. After that, your coach will continue to check in periodically to ensure you're staying on track and provide support whenever you need it. The schedule is flexible and designed to provide the right amount of guidance as you progress.

Absolutely. We take your privacy very seriously. All your financial information is encrypted and stored securely. We never share your information with third parties without your explicit consent. Our coaches adhere to strict confidentiality standards.

Unlike traditional financial advisors who focus primarily on investments, BrightUp coaches work with you on your complete financial picture. We help you build fundamental money skills, address behaviors and habits, and create sustainable systems for long-term success. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and tools to make confident financial decisions.

Not at all! We work with residents across all income levels. Financial coaching is about making the most of what you have, whether you're just starting out or earning a higher income. Our coaches tailor their approach to your specific situation and goals.

Absolutely. This program is specially designed for American Housing residents, with 75% of our community having previously experienced homelessness. Our coaches understand the unique challenges you may have faced and are trained to help you build financial stability no matter your starting point.

Whether you're working to rebuild your credit, establish a stable financial foundation, or work toward homeownership, our coaches have the expertise and compassion to guide you through each step of your journey.
