Rental Assistance Loan

A new rental apartment or house requires first and last month's rent and/or a security deposit. That means thousands of dollars you may not have saved, especially if you are moving from a lower cost-of-living area to a higher one.

CGMA can help with an interest-free loan to ease the transition.
