The City's Computer Purchase Assistance Program is available to all full-time employees who have completed probation. Borrow up to $2,500 interest-free for the purchase of a home computer or laptop. Loan payments are made through payroll deductions over a two-year period.

The justification should include how this program will benefit you and the City. You don't have to know what type of computer you wish to purchase at this stage.

We will award up to 9 grants for January 1, 2023. You must have your purchase made within 30 days of your award date. Don't miss out on an opportunity to participate in this program!
