No Interest Loans Scheme | The Hills Community Aid and Information Service Inc.

NO INTEREST LOANS SCHEME (NILS^®)

NILS^® is a model of no interest loan schemes developed by Good Shepherd Youth and Family Service with a specific philosophy based on social justice principles.

NILS^® programs offer alternatives to people facing barriers in accessing low level credit on fair and reasonable terms.

Northwest No Interest Loan Scheme (NW NILS^®) will be available by way of capital funding raised by The Hills Community Aid and Information Service Inc.

The NO INTEREST LOANS SCHEME provides an alternative form of credit, rather than emergency relief.

Loans are generally provided to purchase essential items. Loans can be for items such as washing machines, refrigerators, medical equipments or repairs.

Northwest NILS^® cannot loan money for reoccurring expenses such as food, rent, electricity bills or debt consolidation.

No interest is charged on loans. The schemes have the flexibility to respond to local and individual needs.
