In participating cities, we assemble coalitions of local funders, lenders, community development leaders and artists, to activate existing and new asset building opportunities for artists. We look for ways to expand artist access to: home-buying, foreclosure prevention, financial literacy, small business start-up, and loan resource opportunities through the following three steps:
We research and disseminate information about available home-buying, foreclosure prevention and loan resources in each community, creating a road map by which local artists can pursue home ownership, business creation and personal solvency.
We establish working groups specific to each community. Our goal is to expand existing asset building resources and programs, for use by artists, in ways that can be embraced at the community level.
We look to foster ongoing and sustainable partnerships that create reciprocal value for all partners.
