JumpStart
JumpStart is a facilitated automobile purchase program for economically disadvantaged families. Low-income workers often do not qualify for traditional automobile loans , and are forced to pay a premium for older, inefficient cars. These vehicles may be unreliable, and can frequently require extensive (and often expensive) repairs. JumpStart offers a common-sense yet radical solution to one of the biggest obstacles facing economically disadvantaged families in post-welfare America -- the need for safe, reliable and affordable transportation for work, family and the rest of life. JumpStart helps these families to literally "drive out of poverty" through financing and ownership of reliable, fuel-efficient cars. View JumpStart brochure.
