Thank you for your interest in Lacasa's Dream$avers IDA Program!  

Our IDA program can help you match $1,500 of your earned income with $4,500 of matched funds towards the purchase of an asset; vehicle, home repair, homeownership, or education. This program has a fee of $199, $50 is due when you open your IDA account (not when you apply) and the remaining $149 is due when you make your first asset purchase and can be paid from your IDA account.


Before completing the inquiry form, please:

  1. Review the program requirements for the asset you plan to apply your IDA towards.
  2. Ensure you meet all eligibility criteria.

If you do not meet the requirements, feel free to contact our office with questions or for guidance on how to become eligible in the future.
