Oportunity Cars: Car's for low income individuals

Monday, November 24, 2008 ·


Are you looking for a car for a low income family? Opportunity Cars is a network of more than 150 nonprofit organizations dedicated to helping low-wage workers acquire reliable used vehicles (including cars, trucks, and vans) to support their ability to find and retain quality employment.

Opportunity Cars programs are located in urban and rural areas in 33 states, and over 10,000 families in 2005 gained access to private automobiles through a Cars for low income families program, transforming their lives and giving them a previously unimaginable level of economic security, safety, and freedom.

There are three primary types of car ownership programs. Some programs acquire used vehicles and distribute them to low income families; some make loans (many with special terms and or discounted rated) available to help individuals with credit challenges purchase a vehicle, and others help individuals save for a vehicle through matched savings programs.

To find out if there are one or more programs in your area to help you with cars for low income families, go to our “Find a Program” section and enter your zip code. Contact each program directly to learn if you are eligible for program participation.

About this blog

This blog was created from a personal time in my life where I needed help due to very unfortunate circumstances.

I had a very difficult time finding information for all of the public assistance programs I needed and I really didn't even know all the types of resources that were available to me.

This directory of assistance and programs is meant to help people find the many resources they might need in one place.

I hope you find what you need. If you don't, I would contact your local First Call for Help and I am sure they will be able to help.
