You Are Not Eligible
Thank you for inquiring about a loan from the Hebrew Free Loan Society. Based on the initial information you supplied, you do not qualify for an HFLS loan, either because you live outside of our lending area (NYC, Long Island and Westchester County) or because your household income is above the target for our lending (see here for current income limits). 

If your annual household income exceeds this amount and you have significant need of an interest-free loan, please contact HFLS at (212) 687-0188 or info@hfls.org to discuss whether you qualify for a loan based on your specific situation.
