CPA was inspired to address the emotional and financial burden
of student loan debt after an internal staff survey revealed that CPA's 64 employees carry an above -
average amount
of student loan debt (SLD), with approximately half reporting that SLD adds «high» to «very high» amounts
of stress to their daily
lives, has
prevented or delayed homeownership, and has caused them to consider relocating to a lower
cost area
of the country.
