JFLA supports K - 12 grade teachers in our community and is thrilled to offer zero interest, zero-fee loans from the Horvitz Teachers' Loan Fund for a wide range of uses, including costs associated with their classrooms like supplies and learning materials, and even with most personal/emergency expenses like car repairs, rent, moving expenses and student loan or other debt consolidation.
At Jewish Free Loan, we rely on guarantors instead of collateral to secure your loan. A guarantor is someone who can guarantee to pay back the loan if you do not. A guarantor is at least 25 years old and has strong credit. A friend, family member, or employer are examples of a guarantor.
