The Family Savings Account Program

The Family Savings Account program helps low income individuals save for a variety of life’s events. For every dollar you save, another dollar is matched, thereby doubling the funds in your savings account. Approved expenses include:

  • Purchasing a home or making approved repairs.
  • Funding for post-secondary education or vocational training for you or your children.
  • Funding a micro enterprise business.
  • Purchasing childcare services in order to secure job training or employment.

This not a loan, but rather a grant from the state that you do not have to pay back. For more information, visit their website.
