This program helps to create and retain jobs in the area. HRDC guides them through the licensing process as well as assistance in developing business plans, budgeting, and marketing. Car Loans Getting people to work is incredibly important! Rural areas have the greatest need as public transportation is relatively non-existent as well as others face the challenge of transportation for those working non-traditional hours. We provide a guarantee payment at a local lending institution for car loans for those who cannot get credit on their own. General Relief We assist in paying rent, motel vouchers, and hygiene products for people who are unable to work and in the process of applying for SSI due to a disability. Saving for Tomorrow Individual Development Accounts program mission is to offer families who are trapped in a cycle of poverty the opportunity to improve their income earning and save their way toward a brighter future. Individual Development Accounts are matched savings account and a new tool in foster asset accumulation among welfare recipients, the working poor, and others who lack the resources to participate in traditional savings and investment programs. This financial incentive to save coupled with support, encouragement and financial education classes, is one way of trying to address poverty and help families invest in their future. The goal is to help low-income families acquire assets and skill that will allow them to move toward economic self-reliance.
