Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers

It's completely free! As an American Housing resident, all coaching services are covered at 100% - including one-on-one sessions, goal tracking, financial assessments, and ongoing support. This exclusive benefit ensures you have access to professional financial guidance without any cost barriers.

Your first session is all about getting to know you and your financial situation. Your coach will help you identify your goals, discuss any financial challenges you're facing, and create a personalized action plan. It's a judgment-free space where you can ask questions and start building a roadmap to financial wellness.

Meeting frequency is flexible and based on your needs and goals. Many clients start with weekly or bi-weekly sessions, then transition to monthly check-ins as they build confidence and momentum. Your coach will work with you to find a schedule that fits your lifestyle and maximizes your progress.

While your coach can provide general education and guidance about financial products, they don't sell specific products or provide investment advice. Instead, they'll help you understand your options, develop criteria for making decisions, and connect you with appropriate resources when specialized advice is needed.

Absolutely. All your financial information and conversations with your coach are kept strictly confidential. We follow industry-standard security practices and will never share your personal information without your explicit consent. Your privacy and trust are our top priorities.
