strategies to improve the financial capability of low-income and

empowerment materials with an accompanying training program. These 
resources equip frontline staff and volunteers in a range of 
organizations to provide relevant and effective information, tools, and 
resources designed to improve the financial outcomes and capability of 
these vulnerable consumers. The Bureau seeks to renew OMB approval of 
this information collection which collects qualitative data related to 
evaluating the effectiveness of the Your Money, Your Goals training 
program. The collection focus on evaluating Your Money, Your Goals 
training practices in enhancing the ability of frontline staff and 
volunteers to inform and educate low-income consumers about managing 
their finances. The collection also serves to assess the extent of 
workshop participants' execution of follow-on trainings, designed to 
share Your Money, Your Goals tools and resources with other frontline 
staff and volunteers, so they can use them with the people they serve. 
The Bureau expects to collect qualitative data through paper-based and 
web-based surveys. This is a routine request for OMB to renew its 
approval of the collections of information currently approved under 
this OMB control number.
