Hallie LienhardtAssistant Director of the Center for Financial Security

My background in community development planning and housing allowed me to work directly with families facing foreclosure and economic difficulties. This work inspired me to seek an area of engagement that would connect low-income and vulnerable populations to financial capability tools and techniques that are empowering, inspiring, and well-researched. The Center for Financial Security in the School of Human Ecology takes this mission seriously and brings innovative thinking and research to a field that requires ongoing development and dynamic solutions.
