The California State Treasurer Fiona Ma's Office HOPE Program website is live, and applications are opening soon!
HOPE is a California initiative to provide trust accounts for children who have spent 18 or more months in the foster system or have lost a parent or primary caregiver due to COVID. The program will provide $3,000 in invested, flexible funding per impacted child, accessible at age 18 to support them in achieving their financial goals.
With applications opening later this Spring and first distributions expected this summer, now is the time to learn more and get ready: www.hopeaccount.ca.gov
