This is a non-profit organization in Bucks County that is dedicated to ending poverty and helping to connect individuals to the resources they need to thrive. Their economic self-sufficiency program empowers low-income families with the education, skills, and resources necessary to achieve and maintain economic self-sufficiency without any future need for cash welfare subsidies. Candidates for the Economic Self-Sufficiency Program must have an annual household income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Income Guideline. Candidates for the program must also agree to: actively participate in a comprehensive self-assessment, and the development and active implementation of a goal plan; meet with a self-sufficiency coach on a weekly basis; work full-time or attend a full-time education program; submit on a regular basis relevant documentation including pay stubs, all monthly bills, income tax information, car insurance, and car registration. Visit their website or call to apply to this program. They also have economic self-sufficiency coaches at the Bucks County Community College to offer individualized and personalized services. Coaches can help students plan for long-term financial success through their economic self-sufficiency program, which allows students to work with coaches for up to 5 years to become financially independent by obtaining employment that pays a living wage. This program gives students access to scholarships, help with budgeting, and the Wheelz2Work program, a program that provides clients with opportunities to secure transportation through their donated car program.
