Programs
Wheels to Work
W2W: Who can apply for a car?
- Family Promise Guest
- or a family referred from a partner agency program
- Homeless or at risk of homelessness
- The driver has minor children in custody
- Blount County resident
- Valid driver’s license
- Ability to obtain insurance
- Proof of employment
W2W: Why is there a lien on the vehicle?
There is a lien for 12 months. The auto insurance company reports to us if the insurance has been paid and is current.
If a driver does not complete the 12-month program the driver will surrender the car and it will go to another driver.
The driver receives the title free of lien after completing the 12-month program.
This is not a gift – the objective is to learn skills that will increase self-sufficiency: Paying on time, getting the oil changed (or other basic maintenance), communicating with Family Promise if there is a problem with the vehicle etc.
Budget: ? Who do I call if I need a budget and financial counseling?
