City of Saint paul - office of financial empowerment

At the Office of Financial Empowerment in the City of Saint Paul, we measure our city’s prosperity across generations. Decades of deliberately harmful choices, from redlining to the path of Interstate 94, have stripped wealth and opportunity from our Black, Indigenous, immigrant, and refugee communities. Today, OFE is working deliberately to help a new generation of Saint Paul residents repair those generational injustices and build equitable economic power for decades to come. OFE is on the leading edge of policies, such as college savings accounts, guaranteed income, fair housing, worker and community ownership, fines and fees justice, consumer financial protection, and appreciating asset development.
