Family Services of Western Pennsylvania has been selected to sponsor a program called 'Ways to Work', a program affiliated with our national organization, the Alliance for Children and Families.

The Ways to Work mission is "to support and strengthen families by providing low interest loans to qualified families to encourage employment and/or post secondary education."

Finding and keeping a job can be a challenge for working parents. Occasionally, expenses arise that a family is not prepared for, such as buying or repairing a car.

Ways to Work was established to help families deal with these kinds of situations. We help working families maintain economic stability by providing loans to cover "job related" expenses or transportation needs.

Ways to Work is available exclusively to parents, to assist them in maintaining employment or continuing their education. Applicants who are approved for loans will also receive budget counseling to learn how to make the most of their income.

Ways to Work is currently available to the residents of Armstong, Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Greene, Washington and Westmoreland Counties.
