RAISE Texas Updates

One in two Texans have almost no "Rainy Day" savings to bank on so Texas earns a "D" on Assets and Education Outcomes. Specifically, Texas earned a "D" in the area of Financial Assets & Income, indicating the lack of large-scale opportunities for Texans to earn, save and build assets. For more information on CFED's newly released 2012 Assets & Opportunity Scorecard click here. Or click here to read the Texas Scorecard Press Release.
