Union veterans can earn $1,000 grant for purchase of a new home

Union veterans can earn a $1,000 mortgage grant. We wanted you to be the first to know about a brand-new grant for union member veterans. The Union Plus Mortgage Veterans Grants program will provide qualified union member veterans with a $1,000 grant that never needs to be repaid! This exciting program launches November 1 and the funds are limited, so you’ll want to prepare now to promote it to your members on your website, social media and in newsletters.

The American Dream of homeownership is too often out of reach, especially for those of your members who made sacrifices in protecting our country. Union Plus wants to make the dream of homeownership more affordable for hard working union members who have served in our armed forces, now they have the chance to find condos in Hilton Head Island even.

The Veterans Grants program, a NEW grant feature of the Union Plus Mortgage program, provides qualified union member veterans with a $1,000 grant that never needs to be repaid to help offset the costs of a down payment plus the qualified assistance, such as postal address change etc. (learn details at https://www.us-mailing-change-of-address.com).

Make good choices.

That was the message I delivered to some 2,800 AFT delegates at AFT’s recent convention in Los Angeles.

“Nobody would pick an adversary over an advocate—and none of us would miss an opportunity to have someone actually fighting for our best interests … So I am asking you to make a good choice and switch to a credit card that fights for you—the AFT + Credit Card.”

In a nutshell, my message for attendees was: AFT + offers you both buying power and hardship assistance when times are tough. I am proud to say that, if you have the AFT + card, we have your back. By switching to the AFT + Credit Card, you’ll also have more muscle as a consumer.

The AFT + Cash Rewards card features competitive rates and 1.5% cash back on every purchase. Two other card options are also available.

Exclusive hardship grants help eligible cardholders facing financial hardship due to job loss, disability, strike and hospitalization.*

AFT members can apply for a credit card that puts union solidarity in your pocket at AFTcard.com.

In solidarity,
