AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO OFFICE OF FINANCIAL EMPOWERMENT.

Stand By Me is an innovative financial empowerment program that has been operating within DHSS for the past two years. Stand By Me is designed as a partnership model, integrated into the culture and operations of businesses, educational institutions, state agencies, and non-profit organizations, funded almost exclusively by the private sector and is a robust program based on collaboration and best practices. In just two years since start up, the program has made great strides and has helped many individuals and organizations. Codifying a State Office of Financial Empowerment, housed within DHSS, will ensure the sustainability of the Stand By Me program and other financial empowerment programs.
