The overall goal is for people to acquire the knowledge, skills, and motivation to build financial security. Programs focus on behavioral change, starting with achieving financial self-sufficiency, then stability. The ultimate goal, financial security, is the cornerstone of prosperous communities, nurturing neighborhoods, and strong families. http://www.csrees.usda.gov/financialsecurity.cfm CSREES webcomments@csrees.usda.gov <H1>In This Issue</H1> <P class=collegeheading><A href="http://www.csrees.usda.gov/newsroom/newsletters/familyeconnews/08_june.html#research"><B>Research/Program Evaluation</B></A></P> <UL> <LI><SPAN class=BodyTextBlack>Impact of Health on the Financial Security of Older Americans</SPAN> <LI><SPAN class=BodyTextBlack>Health Insurance New Indicator of Farm Household Well-Being</SPAN></LI></UL> <P><A href="http://www.csrees.usda.gov/newsroom/newsletters/familyeconnews/08_june.html#ed"><B>Education/Extension</B></A></P> <UL class=BodyTextBlack> <LI>AFCPE Extension Pre-Conference <LI>Family Financial Planning Online&nbsp; <LI>New on eXtension: Money Talks</LI></UL> <P class=collegeheading><A href="http://www.csrees.usda.gov/newsroom/newsletters/familyeconnews/08_june.html#resources"><B>Resources</B></A></P> <UL class=BodyTextBlack> <LI>Medicare Publication Offer <LI>Understanding Your Credit Score <LI>Foreclosure Rescue Scams <LI>Alzheimer’s Kit &nbsp; <LI>MoneyTrack Public Television Series <LI>Finding Paths to Prosperity (Spanish Version) <LI>Money Management Tips for All Ages <LI>Youth Financial Education</LI></UL> <P class=collegeheading><A href="http://www.csrees.usda.gov/newsroom/newsletters/familyeconnews/08_june.html#opportunities"><B>Opportunities</B></A></P> <UL> <LI><SPAN class=BodyTextBlack>Call for Papers: </SPAN> <UL> <LI class=BodyTextBlack>Journal of Consumer Affairs <LI>Journal of Personal Finance <LI>Financial Counseling and Planning <LI>The Journal of Youth Development <LI>Journal of Family and Economic Issues&nbsp; <LI class=BodyTextBlack>2008 Consumer Issues Conference <LI class=BodyTextBlack>2008 Association for Financial Counseling and Planning Education Conference <LI class=BodyTextBlack>2009 Federal Reserve System Community Affairs Research Conference</LI></UL> <LI><SPAN class=BodyTextBlack>Funding: </SPAN> <UL> <LI>Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Grant Program <LI>Grants.gov <LI>FINRA Investor Education Foundation <LI>National Endowment for Financial Education<SUP>&reg;</SUP> (NEFE<SUP>&reg;)</SUP> <LI>MMI Financial Education Foundation <LI>U.S. Department of Health and Human Services <LI>Foundation for Financial Literacy </LI></UL></LI></UL> <P class=collegeheading><A href="http://www.csrees.usda.gov/newsroom/newsletters/familyeconnews/08_june.html#calendar"><B>Calendar</B></A></P> <P class=collegeheading><A href="http://www.csrees.usda.gov/newsroom/newsletters/familyeconnews/08_june.html#mailbox"><B>Mailbox</B></A></P> 29 May 2008 19:37:24 GMT http://www.csrees.usda.gov/newsroom/newsletters/familyeconnews/08_june.html A51D38DF-A4DE-40BC-9C89-4B4D92FB57E1 29 Apr 2008 14:07:33 GMT http://www.csrees.usda.gov/newsroom/newsletters/familyeconnews/familyeconnews.html 5EF1F6C9-5C94-4791-B0E1-0977429F9643 15 Apr 2008 19:32:56 GMT http://www.personalfinancefoundation.org/ 6753BE0A-026D-4CD1-B21E-3649212A2757
