Getting Started

Deciding to take control of your financial future is a big step, and HPP Cares CDE looks forward to guiding you through your journey.

  1. The first step toward working with us is to schedule a free discovery session. Here, we will explore your financial goals to determine how you can move from your current state of uncertainty to a place of confidence. Your discovery session includes:

    • A one-on-one session with a counselor
    • An assessment of your personal financial situation
    • A review of your most significant financial concern
    • A step you can use today to help you move towards a brighter future, even if you choose not to become a client
  2. At the conclusion of your discovery session, if we think we can help you improve your financial situation, we will schedule an in-depth meeting to further explore your needs. You will complete a series of questionnaires and are requested to collect specific documents that support demonstrate your current circumstances. This ensures we have a full financial picture in place to use as a starting point for your comprehensive, personalized plan.
  3. Once everything is collected, we will discuss your intentions to move forward by formalizing the client/advisor relationship. This includes the completion of an agreement that outlines our services as well as our fee structure. This document will signal the beginning of our official working relationship.
  4. A financial plan will be developed that includes recommendations regarding your personal finance and home-oriented needs. As action steps are identified, we will work with you to develop a plan that allows you to move forward, adjusting the approach if your needs, priorities, or circumstances change.

Identify Priorities, Assess Obstacles, Plan for Action, Achieve Goals

At HPP Cares CDE, we understand the importance of working with counselors that listen first and advise second. We will work to ensure the right questions are asked, allowing us to understand your goals and expectations before a customized plan is developed.

Your need will always be our priority, and we are dedicated to always working to exceed your expectations.

If you aren’t ready for a full assessment, you can choose to schedule a starting strategy session instead. These appointments allow you the opportunity to ask questions regarding your top three financial concerns. You will receive clear and straightforward answers that speak to your unique situation.

So, if you are ready to begin your journey to a stronger financial future, contact HPP Cares CDE today.

Progress

HPP CARES CDE's accomplishments these past few years have been significant and all-encompassing; striving to advocate under the National Coalition for Equities’ umbrella to maintain a powerful community voice among the Federal and State regulators and major private sector corporations to address public policy issues, and to focus on the wealth & income inequality affecting affordable homeownership and small business growth. With the NCFE, HPP CARES CDE’s outreach efforts have led to an increase in corporate social responsibility and consumer protection. We have been able to reach more people, collaborate with more companies, meet with more regulators, all in the name of helping deserving individuals become sustainable homebuyers, successful small business owners, protected consumers and empowering California communities. HPP CARES CDE is at the forefront of helping people of color become partners in our mission to reduce income and wealth inequality and build stronger futures for all minority groups.
