Family Savings Account Program

Humans, by nature, are prone to having big dreams.  However, big dreams sometimes require big money, and sometimes no matter how much or hard we work, our ceaseless efforts and undying imaginations seem to leave us hanging.  The Family Savings Account Program serves to help people bridge the gap between dreams and reality by providing a dollar-to-dollar match on savings of up to $2,000 for self-sufficiency initiatives.

Eligible uses for matched monies include:

• Purchase of a new or used automobile used for work or school,
• Purchase of a new or existing home as primary residence,
• Investment in home-improvement projects,
• Investment in education for the self or a beneficiary;
• Jumpstart of a new business or expansion of an existing business.

In order to strengthen self-sufficiency, participants attend financial literacy classes so that they can become smarter consumers and receive the full benefit of their matched money.
