The Hebrew Free Loan Association (HFLA) of Washington State,  helps Washington State Jewish residents with interest-free loans.

 

​

​

*  HFLA offers no-interest, no fee loans that provide a safety-net and a gateway to  opportunity for the Washington State Jewish community. We are the only provider of interest-free loans in the state.

 

* HFLA makes loans for up to $6,000. Loans of up to $7,500 are available for post-secondary education, i.e. for college, vocational or technical education from the Student Access Fund (SAF) which opens each Spring for applications.

 

* Repayments - Loan payment amounts are decided between the borrower and HFLA, and driven by borrower's individual circumstances so they can successfully repay.

 

* Repayments go into new loans - Each month we make new loans with the payments from current borrowers. This reduces our need to raise money each month.

 

*  Our program is sustainable - HFLA has been incorporated in Washington since 1914, and has been helping our Jewish community all this time.
