Manage My Money

The Agency for Persons with Disabilities recently partnered with the Department of Financial Services and The Arc Tampa Bay to bring a financial literacy event called Manage My Money to people with developmental disabilities and their families.

The event offered guidance on various banking and savings options. Because Financial Literacy Month had just passed, Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis was the special guest speaker at the event. DFS Division of Consumer Services Director Tasha Carter was also in attendance.

The event was very well-attended by people from ADT work programs, Supported Employment programs, Supported Living programs, and families who are planning for financial independence with their loved ones!

The Manage My Money event hosted seven financial institutions and provided more than 75 individuals and families with information, resources, and banking and savings options.
