Fair Lending Options & Quality of Life
We work to socialize a “new social contract” between employees and employers—one predicated upon employees’ quality of life. Part of this new “contract” is working with employers to provide employees with low-interest lending options. In times of economic uncertainty and short-term resource gaps, households often turn to high-interest lending options; these exploitative, predatory schemes disproportionately impact Black, Indigenous, and People of Color households. We are committed to working together with public and private partners to develop and scale equitable lending options for New Mexico households statewide.
Prosperity Works' Partnership with TrueConnect
Prosperity Works recognized the extent to which high-interest predatory lenders undermined individual borrowers’ long-term financial health, eroded community economic development initiatives, and advocated against legislation to protect consumers. Through our partnership with TrueConnect, employees in New Mexico have an equitable lending alternative to predatory storefront lenders.
