The ultimate purpose is to leverage HCA's AmeriCorps VISTA project, secured funding, and existing partnerships with Native Hawaiian-controlled nonprofits and CDFIs to establish an integrated asset building system that will increase access to affordable housing for Native Hawaiians residing in urban Trust lands. Further, the project will create a Native Hawaiian Asset Building Coalition that will serve as a vehicle for democratic control of leveraged resources for the integrated asset building system and for increasing the professional skills of VISTA members as part of a multi-organization succession plan to prepare our next generation of Native Hawaiian economic development leaders.

The ultimate purpose of the Integrated Community Placement Project is to increase economic equity for American Indians living in and around South Minneapolis. This will be accomplished by training them in high-wage, high-demand occupations. Additionally, the employability of project's participants will increase because they are entering the labor market with directly-related work experience that was attained through their apprenticeship.

The ultimate purpose of PAID is to create an effective and innovative financial literacy program for urban Native youth that will: 1) empower the most at-risk youth and young adults in our community to navigate their own finances while building self-sufficiency skills, 2) become an established AICRC program that the agency can use to serve youth for many years to come, 3) Leverage intensive/wrap around case management to positively impact participants’ attitudes, leading to greater self-sufficiency and more positive outlooks, and 4) serve as an easily transferrable model for programs serving similar Native youth populations in other urban areas.
