Interest-free loans for life’s unexpected financial challenges
Confidential, interest-free support for Jewish individuals and families navigating urgent financial needs.
Helping individuals and families in the Greater Boston community with life’s ups, downs, and everything in between.
In partnership with Hebrew Free Loan Programs at Jewish Family & Children’s Service and Jewish Family Service of Metrowest, CJP provides interest-free loans and compassionate support for Jewish individuals and families across Greater Boston facing unexpected expenses or financial crisis.
Examples of qualifying expenses include:
|
• Lifecycle ceremonies (bar/bat mitzvahs, weddings, funerals) • New baby, fertility, and adoption • Car purchase or repairs • Small debt consolidation • Healthcare not covered by insurance |
• Summer camp or Israel experiences • Home repairs • Small business costs • Care of older adults or people with disabilities |
Loans range from $1,000 to $10,000 for households of moderate income. Applicants must reside in the Greater Boston area and submit a complete loan application. Individuals temporarily unable to work or receiving unemployment benefits are encouraged to see if an interest-free loan can meet their urgent needs.
During this time, people who are temporarily unable to work and/or are receiving unemployment benefits are invited to explore whether the interest-free loan will meet their needs.
