Through an array of community-based programs the Center for Economic Progress is working to build the assets and increase the economic prosperity of working families and individuals throughout Illinois and across the nation.

The mission of the Center for Economic Progress is to increase economic opportunities for low-income families, children, and individuals by improving access to public, private, and non-profit programs and services. Through direct services, public education, and advocacy, the Center challenges barriers facing its constituency, thus encouraging self-sufficiency and promoting economic prosperity.

As a Chicago Money Smart Week partner, the Center for Economic Progress hosted a series of auto financing workshops with Harold Washington College, using AWARE's Auto Financing Road Map curriculum.
