Robin Hood’s job programs have helped thousands of people get jobs, despite such barriers to employment as histories of substance abuse, incarceration, and homelessness. We also support organizations that create economic security for low-income individuals by providing loans and grants, financial literacy and free banking services, and assistance in starting a business. Robin Hood also helps poor working-families gain access to public benefits and tax credits through our Earned Income Tax Credit (E.I.T.C.) and Single Stop Initiatives. Single Stop provides free confidential benefits and financial counseling in poor neighborhoods, while E.I.T.C. educates poor working New Yorkers about the money they're owed and helps them file for the credits at no cost.
