HISTORY
Hawaiian
Community Assets, Inc. (HCA) was created by an existing
Hawaiian grassroots non-profit, Na Poe Kokua, dedicated
to planning and implementing community development
programs benefiting Native Hawaiians. HCA's mission is
to increase the capacity of low-income communities and
individuals to achieve economic self-sufficiency - with
a particular focus on Hawaiian communities. It opened
its doors in June 2000.
To
achieve its mission, HCA developed a strategy that
integrates financial education, financial products and
services, and access to capital-all in the context of
Hawaiian culture and values. HCA calls this unique
holistic approach Kahua Waiwai, or "Foundation for
Wealth." |
