Financial Services for Families
Our Financial Services for Families Programs help families move toward financial self-sufficiency and retain employment.
Credit Counseling Services
Credit counseling helps people cope with financial hardships which are often due to unforeseen circumstances such as:
- Loss of Income
- Medical Expenses
- Overspending
- Financial Emergencies
- High Interest Rates
Our Debt Management Plan serves the dual role of helping YOU repay your debts and helping creditors receive the money owed to them. If you are troubled with past due bills, we’d like to help!
If you’ve been:
- Late with payments or unable to make full payments?
- Receiving threatening letters or calls from creditors?
- Using loans or credit cards to make ends meet?
- Considering Bankruptcy?
Our Debt Management Plan will work to establish a payment plan between you and your creditors that:
- May reduce minimum payments and interest, and stop late or over limit fees
- Allows you to make one lump sum payment for all unsecured debt
- Pays off debt over the term of the program

Pre-Bankruptcy Counseling
Greenleaf Family Center is an approved provider of Pre-Bankruptcy Counseling. When you’re ready to file a bankruptcy, one of the first steps is to complete a pre-filing credit counseling interview. This consists of a confidential one-on-one interview on budgeting and money management that lasts approximately 1-1/2 hours.
At the end of the interview, you will be issued a Certificate of Counseling which is required to file for bankruptcy protection.
The fee for this service is $50.00 for individual or joint filings.

The class session is 2 hours in length and the fee is $50.00 for both individual and joint filings. You will also be given the opportunity to purchase the book “A Roadmap to Personal Financial Health Following Bankruptcy” published by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling for $21.95.
