Dupaco Community Helps Woman Become First Homeowner in Her Family
Here’s what credit unions are all about. Dupaco Community CU offers a MoneyMatch program that matches (dollar for dollar) the deposits a member makes to an individual development account (IDA) with grants from the Dupaco R. J. Hoefer Foundation and the Iowa Credit Union Foundation. Through this program Ermina Soler was able to break a generational-cycle of poverty and accumulate $4,000 to purchase a house, becoming the first person in her immediate family to be a homeowner.
