An Important Update

On behalf of the Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities and the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection Office of Financial Empowerment, we want to share an important update with you.

As of January 2022, EmpoweredNYC financial counseling will continue as a part of the NYC Financial Empowerment Centers.

While all Financial Empowerment Center counselors can and do serve clients with disabilities, if you would like service from a former EmpoweredNYC counselor please select a NYLAG Phone Counseling. You can find instructions on how to access financial counseling services below.
