ATLANTA, November 10, 2025 — Operation HOPE, a national nonprofit dedicated to helping low- and moderate-income Americans thrive in an ever-changing economy, announced today that it is making extra resources available to individuals and families financially impacted by the ongoing federal government shutdown.
In collaboration with local and national partners, Operation HOPE’s “Hope Is On The Way” government shutdown relief services are provided at no cost and include:
Financial counseling
Credit and money management counseling
Emergency budget preparation
Assistance negotiating and working with creditors
Foreclosure prevention
Financial management workshops
The shutdown has placed severe stress on the country’s most vulnerable populations. With critical programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) facing disruption and many employee paychecks on hold, the impact of the shutdown is felt especially by households already living paycheck-to-paycheck, families with children, seniors, people with disabilities and low-income communities. Recognizing that the financial fallout from the shutdown will ripple far beyond the immediate effects felt today by so many, Operation HOPE is stepping in to provide stabilization and planning support for those most in need.
