The IDA program prepares participants to become more financially independent. Participants in the IDA program will save $1,000.00 and have it matched up to *8:1 for purchasing a first time home, starting or expanding a small business or secondary education.

Clients that participate in the IDA program will:

• learn to build and maintain financial assets
• acquire knowledge to purchase a first time home, get an education or start/expand a small business
• learn how to navigate through the credit repair process

In order to apply for the IDA program you must:

• complete one of DEI's 11-week core training programs
• have your name added to the participant's eligibility list
• be willing to commit to saving on a regular basis
• be ready to obtain your asset within one year

There is no cost for the IDA program.
