SaverLife is working to support our members all across the nation in building climate resilience. When SaverLife member Alicia’s house flooded in 2022, she discovered firsthand how a climate event can derail life plans. Living on a limited budget with her husband and children, she found herself having to choose between basic needs, making trade-offs month after month between crucial home repairs and money for food and utilities. With collaborative member research, we advocate for change to help low-income families be more prepared for climate events. In 2025, we will continue projects like our partnership with Inclusiv, Community Finance for Climate Action. We are engaging public, private, and nonprofit organizations in groundbreaking collaboration with one goal: to help lower-income households become more resilient to a changing climate and gain access to clean energy solutions. Give today to support this work and our other efforts to build a better, more equitable financial future for our society. https://lnkd.in/ewkmbMpQ #financialhealth #financialwellness #inclusiveeconomy

Advocates and policymakers, don’t miss these valuable insights to support your work in affordable housing and financial health.?
