If you meet the qualifications, it's not out of reach.\n\nIn a time when it's just that much more difficult to save money toward a house, college or starting a small business, the Argenta Community Development Corporation could make all the difference.\n\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.argentacdc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">CDC de Argenta<\/span><\/strong> <\/a>has opened enrollment for the \"Assets for Arkansans Individual Development Account Program.\" It's designed to help low to moderate income families in Pulaski County accumulate savings over six to 24-months.\n\nResource Development Manager Shanta Nunn-Baro explains, \"We match up to $2,000 for an individual and $4,000\u00a0for a household.\"\n\nHere is how it works: for every dollar you save,\u00a0$3 will be added to your balance. You are required to save a total of $667 (as an individual). The total amount of $2,000 - $4,000 will be given directly to the vendor of your choice. The options are purchasing a home, house repairs, starting a small business, paying tuition or job training.\n\nNunn-Baro adds, \"Studies have proven, people who seek higher education earn more money over time. It's also been proven, even though we're in a down time, you're home is definitely a financial asset for you. Home repair is one of the assets you can save for keeping your home in good working order and everything as well can definitely help you if you choose to sell your home. So we do believe these four areas in which you can save for definitely can make a great financial impact on your future.\"\n\nThe program also requires participants to complete an eight-hour financial class and visit an Argenta budget credit counselor three times during the program. Nunn-Baro says it may sound difficult, but it's well worth the investment in your future.\n\nShe continues, \"Along with building an asset, we're also working with people to create life long budget habits as well as life long savings habits as well.\"\n\nThe matched savings program has been around since the 90's, but Argenta CDC joined it this year. They anticipate the program will be ongoing, but right now have only 25-slots available.\n\nIf you don't live in Pulaski County, you can call your local Workforce office to find out if your county is participating.\n\nPotential participants must have a source of earned income and meet income, family size and geographic guidelines. A limited number of program slots are available.\n\nTo find out if you qualify, <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">pulse aqu\u00ed<\/span><\/strong> o llame al (501) 374-0622.\n\n<strong>N\u00famero principal del personal (501) 374-0622<\/strong>\nBrad Williams, Executive Director ext. 24\nCathy Carlock, Home Ownership Counselor and Educator ext. 26\nBrian Cox, Construction Manager and General Contractor ext. 27\nKatie Croom, HomeOwnership Counselor and Educator ext. 29\nNancy Martin, Operations Manager ext. 23\nShanta Nunn-Baro, Resource Development Manager ext. 22\nLaKesha Crow, For Sale Properties (501)960-5499\nPattie Dedmon, Rental Properties (501)370-9000\n\nAAIDAP is funded by Arkansas Department of Workforce Services, Southern Good Faith Fund and Arkansas Economic Development Commission.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00bfQu\u00e9 le parecer\u00eda ganar $3 por cada d\u00f3lar que destina al ahorro?
