CREATE ·2024 Grants ChallengeClaim Your Cash LA (CYCLA) Pilot
ESP seeks to expand CYCLA, a groundbreaking pilot launched in early 2024 to connect low-income families that have existing interactions with county agencies to free tax prep services. The lowest-income households, families of color, and single-parent households are most likely to miss out on hundreds or thousands of dollars in tax credits due to the cost, time and complexity involved in filing taxes. ESP designed CYCLA to be a scalable model of collaboration between agencies in order to meet the needs of the low-income households they serve.
