Over the past two years, CMS has introduced programming and services to help educators find a home in the Charlotte community. Now, we’re excited to pilot a few new programs aimed at getting you financially ready for your future.
Pilot program breakout sessions will include:
1.) Financial coaching. At Home in CMS has partnered with Attain and Nestment to offer personalized guidance and financial advice that makes homeownership more attainable.
2.) Student loan assistance. At Home in CMS has partnered with Summer and LoanSense to offer interested educators access to individualized student loan assistance.
How it Works
Pilot programs will run for six months. Participation is limited to 50 educators per app, so offers will be extended on a first-come, first-served basis. After six months, continued use is not guaranteed.
How You Sign Up
Please fill out this form. The At Home in CMS team will contact selected participants on a first-come, first-served basis.
