Eva, a mother of three and sweet treat maker, took the leap and became an official business owner this year. Eva participates in the Family Self-Sufficiency Program, which focuses on employment supports and helps families transition from receiving housing assistance to living without public support. A unique component of this program is the escrow account option that helps capture rental assistance savings as income increases and need decreases. Participants can receive $20,000+ to use as a down payment for a home purchase or to meet other needs—in 2022, the average was $5,072.
With guidance and resources from the Business Incubator Center and Doors 2Success, Eva has a thriving, home-based business selling (delicious!) jams and snacks.
