Financial Navigators Program

The L.A. County Financial Navigators program, operated by the Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs’ Center for Financial Empowerment (CFE) in partnership with Cities for Financial Empowerment Fund (CFE Fund), is providing L.A. residents with free assistance to help them deal with the financial challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
