In 2002, Idaho’s legislature passed a new law. Many individuals (and organizations) worked for many years to ensure passage of this new law. Those who are dedicated (and committed) to ensure justice and equality for Idaho’s farmworkers are interested in letting farmworkers know about this new law. By doing so, the farmworkers and their families can continue to learn about their rights.

The Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) is FHA's reverse mortgage program which enables you to withdraw some of the equity in your home.
