Integrating Financial Capability Services into Tribal LIHEAP
Administration for Children & Families
This brief is a companion resource to "Building Financial Capability: A Planning Guide for Integrated Services" (also known as the Guide) and provides real-world examples of financial capability integration efforts. The brief shares lessons and approaches for how tribal-serving organizations can integrate financial capability services into the Low-Income Heating and Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and other emergency assistance services. The brief highlights the experiences of two tribal serving organizations in Alaska that integrated financial capability services: the Kenaitze Indian Tribe and the Aleutian Pribilof Island Association (APIA). It is organized into three sections: (1) understanding households' financial lives; (2) deciding which financial capability services to integrate; and (3) assessing organizational and community capacity to plan for how to deliver services.
