Cash assistance for job related needs. We can help you get there.

How We Can Help

Job Access Loans are short-term, no-interest loans that can help pay for things related to getting or keeping a job. Things like car repairs, driver’s license fees, work or interview clothes, computers for remote work, and other costs that get you or keep you at work are all covered.

Get Started

How it Works

Job Access Loans are funded by the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families, providing no-interest loans for job-related expenses.

And when we say no-interest, we mean no interest. The amount you are loaned is the amount you repay.

Cash Assistance, The Right Way

There are no background checks or banks involved in receiving a Job Access Loan. Loanees have 12-months to repay the loans through cash payments or community service.

Get the Job You Want

Families connected with the Wisconsin Works program can apply for these loans to cover necessary job-related expenses. Including:

Transportation (repairs, down payments, insurance)
Housing and relocating expenses
Work-related tech (computers, tablets, devices)
Uniforms and tools
Legal expenses (fees, fines)
