Money Week Houston is a public awareness campaign designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances. This is achieved through the collaboration and coordinated efforts of organizations across Houston and surrounding areas including businesses, financial institutions, schools, libraries, community-based organizations, government agencies and the media. 

Money Week Houston is a week-long celebration of financial education events, seminars and workshops throughout the greater Houston area from September 14-20, 2008.

Money Week Houston is aimed at helping to improve financial literacy throughout Houston. Houston's initiative is similar to successful promotions in the cities of Chicago and Detroit. However, this is the first ever city-wide campaign in Houston.
