Our Story
We help hard-working, responsible people who, if they are the average working person, are living paycheck to paycheck, have little to no savings, and are spending more than 30% of their income on housing.
Join us as we help keep responsible residents in their apartments during an unexpected financial emergency and also help them better prepare for future emergencies.

The same companies dominate the payday loan market throughout the country and charge whatever interest rate a state allows. A review of the biggest lenders’ websites shows that a $1,000 loan costs $320 in Colorado, $536 in Ohio, and more than $1,400 in Virginia. In other words, the same credit—from the same payday lender—is available to similarly situated people in all three states. With interest rates as high as 400% annualized, Payday-type loans rake in more than $9 billion a year in fees and interest, according to Pew Charitable Trusts, a nonprofit research group.
