The Family Assets for Independence in Minnesota (FAIM) program is a matched savings project to help Minnesota low-wage earners build assets through;

• purchase of a home
• pursuit of a higher education
• or launching of a small business.

This is accomplished by FAIM participants placing up to $40 monthly savings from their earned income into Family Asset Accounts (savings accounts) which will be matched 3-1 upon completion of asset contracts.

Funded in part by: Office of Community Services; US Department of Health & Human Services, Office of Economic Opportunity; Minnesota Department of Human Services, McKnight Foundation, and the Greater Twin Cities United Way.
