Need a Car? This Might Help

posted 4/3/18 -- Lorain County Community Action Agency’s By Car program opens doors so clients can create their own successes.

Clients like Olivia Patton work and earn income but struggle to save enough to buy a vehicle. Through the By Car Program, LCCAA matches every dollar saved up to a grant of $2,666.00 allowing the participant to purchase a car for $3,999.

However, matching dollars is not the only benefit of the By Car Program. Customers of the program also receive financial literacy training, to help them navigate the purchase of their automobile and use long term to manage their money.

“The car program has opened the door for me to achieve my goals that I have set for myself to succeed in life,” Ms. Patton said. “I am very grateful and appreciative for the help this program has given me.”

As tax season comes to a close, you may be considering applying a refund to a car purchase. LCCAA can help if you live at or below 125% of the Federal Poverty Line and no one in your household can own a car. But, don’t hesitate, the funds in this high demand program go quickly.
