Often, as little as $2,000 can mean the difference between a home and the streets for the economically vulnerable. Our Short Term Eviction Prevention (STEP) Fund bridges the gap for Angelenos at risk of imminent homelessness by providing quick-turnaround, easy-to-access, no-interest micro loans of up to $2,500.
Established for low-income individuals at imminent risk of eviction
Three-year repayment terms for loans of up to $2,500
Prioritize service for prior homelessness, foster care, or Income < 30% AMI
Zero interest; no expenses or hidden fees
Unlike other loan programs, our loans are non-punitive, with no required collateral or guarantees
The efficacy of the STEP Fund program is being evaluated in a large-scale scientific study by the Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities (LEO), a research center that studies effective poverty interventions, at the University of Notre Dame.
Are you at imminent risk of eviction?
The Step fund program impacted my life by providing financial support to keep me and my family in our home. I will never forget how receiving the funds put me at ease. When I had no other options, the Step fund provided me with peace and hope. Thank you.
