Tuscaloosa area churches and civic leaders have gathered to establish a new resource for low-income residents. The organization makes no-interest loans available to eligible citizens for housing and utility needs, including money for emergency rent, mortgage and utility bills; for minor house repairs; for appliance, plumbing and power repairs, additions, or replacements; and any other living expenses. Repayment is expected but payments are kept low. This ministry offers an alternative to the injurious payday loan process.<\/p>\n
Peoples’ Loan Program provides no-interest loans to residents of the West Alabama community, offering hope and dignity to those in financial distress.<\/b><\/i><\/center><\/p>\nPLP invites you to support them in this innovative project that will offer our community and neighbors relief from the negative effects of the loan-debt cycle.<\/p>\n
