Translating Financial Empowerment to City Fiscal Health, with Angela Rollins
Episode 37
Monday, 28 April, 2025
This week, we're speaking with Angela Rollins, Director of Financial Empowerment for the City of Rochester, NY.

We learn about some of the programs in place to help residents attain financial freedom such as the Summer of Opportunity Program and Kiva loans for small businesses, among others. In Ripped from the Headlines, we discuss a study that surveyed how different generations are feeling about their financial outlooks and levels of financial anxiety.
