What is the Indigenous Economic Empowerment Convening?
With new funding from the Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) State of Washington to provide Financial Literacy Training, we developed the Native Financial Empowerment Training Program and provided on-line training to Natives throughout the States of WA & OR. Feedback received four our people:
- Many Natives are unbanked
- Struggling with credit issues
- Lack of ability to find affordable housing
In response, T3, in partnership with partnership with the Kaiser Permanente Foundation, is planning a high-level convening to address Programs and Policies that prevent Indigenous Peoples from thriving.
Questions we want to address at the Convening:
- What are the root causes leading to such a high level of homelessness for all people?
- How can we gather in this post pandemic era to rebuild relationships and community with experts taking this work on?
- What are the specific policies we can identify and change?
- Who is doing this work?
- What resources can they bring to the table?
- What are successful models that can be replicated?
- Last - how can we develop common messages and strategies with Indigenous people and allies to motivate policy makers to act?
