JumpStart
Formerly known as the Family Self-Sufficiency Program, JumpStart offers voucher holders continuous, personalized support for building a stronger future. Working with a JumpStart coordinator, participants identify their dreams and lay out plans to achieve them goal-by-goal.
Ignite your potential
As a participant in the JumpStart program, you will work with your JumpStart coordinator to identify and achieve goals in five focus areas:
- Health & Wellness
- Education & Employment
- Financial Empowerment
- Life Skills
- Community Engagement
Your goals might include opening a savings account, securing reliable transportation, finding childcare, or enrolling in a degree or certification program. Your JumpStart coordinator will help you choose goals that fit your interests and support your long-term wellbeing.
Your JumpStart coordinator can support you for up to five years, working with you to troubleshoot obstacles and connecting you with community resources. During your time in the program, you also have the option to capture some of your rent in an escrow account that will be available to you upon graduation. Some JumpStart graduates have used their escrow account toward the down payment on a new home.
JumpStart is your opportunity to clear your path, reach your goals, and jumpstart your future!
