As the demand to address the urgent needs of people who have lost some or all of their income because of COVID 19 closures, it is clearer now than ever before, that the work we do to help families build and preserve assets must be elevated.

We have proven over and over again that the opposite of poverty is not wealth but social justice and opportunity. LMI families served by our New Mexico Assets Consortium are building businesses, going to college, buying homes, and saving for their children's college education at a rate that is higher than any place in the nation. While a good job provides for everyday needs, it is personal, social, and financial assets that provide a personal safety net and hope for the future.

Prosperity Works is thankful for the longtime partnership and continued support from Wells Fargo, and will utilize this funding to further their work in economic and financial equality for all New Mexicans.

TrueConnect, an employer-based loan product that we brought New Mexico as an alternative to high-cost storefront loans. Understanding the harm done to individual borrowers, to community economic development initiatives, and to our inability to get our Legislator to take action to protect consumers, employers across the state have adopted TrueConnect to assist employees in accessing a fair loan. With no cost or risk to the employer, and no credit check for the employee, these loans of up to $5,000 have served to address emergencies, reduce financial stress, and support workplace productivity.

 

It is easy to do but I am also happy to connect you with other cities, large and small, who have done so.
