Catalyst Miami to Host Imagine Miami: Assets, Opportunities, and You at The Temple of Israel

In Miami, 17% of households live in poverty, but nearly four times as many (67%) are financially vulnerable. These “liquid asset poor” households do not have enough savings to live above the poverty level for just three months if they lose a job, face a medical crisis or suffer another income disruption. Communities of color fare even worse: 79% of African-American households and 74% of Hispanic households in Miami are liquid asset poor.

The inability to bounce back from financial pitfalls not only hurts Miami families, it stifles the city’s long-term economic growth.

Let’s build a prosperous Miami together.

Join us to learn more about the state of financial security in our community from the practitioners working to improve it.
