As we anticipate 2019 wrapping up and a new year beginning, we would like to share with you the accomplishments that we have experienced this year through the PIE program. We have welcomed over 35 new participants into the program and 70% of these individuals or families are saving for homeownership. For our recent graduates, please see how the PIE program is making a difference in helping individuals to save consistently, and developing a strong financial foundation for the future beyond their goal of homeownership, business capitalization, or post-secondary education.
