If you are a low- to moderate-income family, our Family Asset Building program may be right for you.
Financial assets, like a house, a business or savings, can help you weather unexpected set-backs such as a job loss, car breakdown, or if an illness strikes.
Our Family Asset Building program offers matched savings - for every $1 you save we deposit $2. You can use these savings to buy a first home, repair a home, take college or post-secondary training, or start or expand a small business.
Who is eligible
- Reside in Johnson and Wyandotte counties in Kansas, and in Clay, Platte and Jackson counties in Missouri
- Earn an income that's at or below 200% of federal poverty guidelines (below)
- Have a net worth of less than $10,000 (excluding home and one vehicle)
Availability
We currently have accounts available in Johnson and Wyandotte counties; we have a waiting list in other counties. We seek support to continue funding for families in other metro area counties.
To get started
If you live in the metro area please call 913-342-1110 ext. 1958.
