Family Loan Program:

We understand that even hard-working people need financial assistance at various times in their lives. Our Family Loan Program assists low-income families by providing small loans that allow them to stay on the job or in school, even when faced with unexpected challenges.

Eligibility Requirements:

• At least 18 years of age
• Resident of Marion, Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks or Morgan County
• Employed 30 hours per week for at least 9 months OR pursuing post-high school education taking at least 9 credit hours
• Unable to qualify for a loan from other sources
• Sufficient disposable income to make monthly loan payments
• Involved parent of a child 18 years or younger
• Household income does not exceed 80% of the area’s median income

*Meeting the above criteria is not a guarantee of loan approval. Individual financial circumstances must also be evaluated.
