Empowering Financial Futures: TAPCO & CJK Community Homes Partnership​

Building Financial Confidence Through Community Collaboration
TAPCO Credit Union recently concluded two impactful six-week financial education workshops in collaboration with CJK Community Homes. These sessions focused on budgeting and credit-building, aiming to equip participants with essential financial skills.​

A Shared Commitment to Financial Empowerment
CJK Community Homes is dedicated to providing affordable housing and financial education to low-income residents in Pierce County. Our partnership aligns through a mutual commitment to financial empowerment, community support, and creating pathways to stability and success for individuals and families.​

Real-World Learning Experiences
Participants engaged in practical exercises, such as creating realistic budgets based on local living costs and understanding credit-building strategies. These hands-on experiences are designed to foster long-term financial stability and independence.​

Measurable Impact
The success of these workshops is evident in the outcomes: participants have reported significant improvements in their credit scores, with some increasing by nearly 150 points. Additionally, several individuals have transitioned into their own apartments or even achieved homeownership. 

Looking Ahead
TAPCO remains committed to supporting initiatives that promote financial literacy and empowerment within our community. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with CJK Community Homes and expanding our outreach to serve more individuals and families in need.​
