Financial Resources

Taxi Drivers are under a significant financial stress currently. Below are some services that we hope can reduce some of that stress. There are places that can help with debt, credit, budgeting, saving, and mortgage and loan counseling. Select places assist with tax related questions and problems. Some of these centers can also help you apply for and manage public benefits.

Under each place listed, there is information on how to schedule an appointment and the services the place offers. Many ask that you call to set up an appointment time or to find their availability on the internet.

We understand that this financial burden can affect one’s mental health. Please refer to our resources on mental health if you feel that your financial struggles are affecting your well-being.
