Family Care Council Communication:

For your information and sharing.

The Urban League of Broward County in conjunction with Broward County

Family Success Administration Division advises that there are potential

openings for up to 370 participants in their IDA program. This program

provides a 2:1 savings match to low-to-moderate income working individuals

and families in Broward County to assist them in obtaining assets and

gradually accumulating wealth. The goal is to enable participants to become

economically self-sufficient. The saved and matched money may be used to

purchase a first home, start a small business or pursue post secondary

education. The participant would essentially make deposits into the IDA

account up to $2000 and the 2:1 match would provide them with a total

amount of $6000 available for their savings goal.

The attachments provide additional information specific to Broward County

and the AFI (Assets for Independence) website details the overall program -

I understand there is flexibility in some of the specific requirements and

that individuals receiving federal and/or state benefits and who have not

yet begun to work may also be eligible.

For more information, please contact the Urban League of Broward County at

.

Needless to say if I can be of any assistance please don't hesitate to

contact me.
