Posted on Jun 06 2011
Learn how to increase asset building and financial education in the CNMI. Attend a free training on Thursday and Friday, June 9 – 10, 2011.
The free training is from 9am to 4pm on both days and will be held at the office of the Inetnon Amot yanKutturanNatibu/Mwwischil Safey me Kkoor Aramasal Faluw at 1213 Capital Hill Rd. on Capital Hill, across from the CNMI Workforce Investment Agency and next to the CNMI Board of Parole Office.
The Administration for Native Americans and the Office of Community Services Assets for Financial Independence program have partnered to promote asset building in native communities. This pre-application training will include information on applying for funding through a new OCS and ANA initiative that will support comprehensive asset building projects in native communities. The training is free to tribes and Native American, Native Alaskan, Native Hawaiian, and U.S. Pacific Islander non-profit organizations.
The Office of Community Services’ Assets for Independence program supports innovative asset-building projects that feature Individual Development Accounts, financial education, and related services that enable low-income people to improve their economic status and become economically self-sufficient. IDA savings placed in an AFI account can be used to build assets in three areas: homeownership, business capitalization, and postsecondary education and training.
You can register online at www.anapacificbasin.org, or e-mail: Keone.nunes@ackco.com or you may come in as a walk-in on Thursday.
