Stable Roots Program

Helping Families Stay Grounded and Thrive

The Stable Roots Program is EPTSAL’s commitment to providing stability, security, and hope for families navigating financial hardship and transition. We educate individuals and provide tools to remain grounded during life's challenges.  Unexpected job loss, medical bills, rising costs, or emergency expenses can leave households vulnerable. Stable Roots exists to ensure families do not just survive but remain grounded as they work toward independence and self-sufficiency.

What We Provide

Our program delivers critical educational and financial support services and resources to meet immediate needs while equipping families with tools for long-term stability:

  • Rent & Utility Assistance – Emergency support to help families avoid eviction or utility shutoffs.

  • Food, Clothing & Furniture Vouchers – Essential items to restore dignity, comfort, and security in daily living.

  • Heating & Cooling Assistance – Relief during extreme weather to protect the health and safety of households.

  • Car Repair Assistance – One-time support to ensure families can maintain reliable transportation to work, school, and essential services.

  • First-Time Homebuyer Support – Guidance for families who are pre-approved and can demonstrate three months of potential mortgage payments. Participants must complete a 6-week financial literacy program, ensuring they are prepared for sustainable homeownership.

Why Stable Roots Matters

Stable Roots not only addresses immediate crises but also focuses on long-term empowerment. By combining emergency aid with financial education, we help families:

  • Prevent displacement and homelessness.

  • Build credit, savings, and financial literacy

  • Strengthen household stability for children and caregivers alike.

  • Transition from rental dependency to sustainable homeownership.

    Lasting Impact

When families are supported with the essentials—food on the table, stable housing, working transportation, and financial knowledge—they are free to grow, plan, and build toward the future. Stable Roots ensures that no family falls through the cracks, laying the foundation for resilient communities where everyone has the chance to thrive.
