• It's a program to find out how to achieve your dreams and goals. 
• It's about learning how to use the community partnerships to find help and support with education, training, financial literacy, day care, self-empowerment workshops, self-employment, and employment. 
• It's about writing your dreams into small and achievable goals.
• It's about attending workshops and conferences where there are other like-minded people who want to take small steps to achieve larger goals
• It's about earning an ESCROW by increasing earned income enough that the tenant rent is increased---and a percentage of the rent increase goes into a savings account that is paid directly to you once you have achieved your goals!
• HUD is rewarding you for gaining and maintaining higher employment by putting money into a savings account that you can choose to use for a down payment for your own home, to pay off debt, etc., etc.!!!
