Matched Savings Program Helps Low-Income Families Save

A new federally-funded program, Individual Development Accounts (IDA), can help low-income families save money for post-secondary education, buying a home, or for business capitalization purposes. For every dollar you save in an IDA account, you will receive a matching two dollars from the San Francisco Earned Assets Resources Network (EARN). This makes every dollar you save worth $3! (The maximum match is $4,000.) For information about eligibility requirements and orientation workshops, please call Mr. Ng at (415) 421-2111.
