Self-Help is a family of nonprofit organizations whose mission is to create and protect ownership and economic opportunity for all. Since Self-Help's founding in 1980, it has grown to include two credit unions, a loan fund, and a research and policy development group that supports those outside of the economic mainstream. Specifically, we: * Help borrowers build wealth by providing fair and responsible mortgages and small business loans in North Carolina, California and other parts of the nation. * Strengthen under-served communities by financing affordable housing, childcare centers, public charter schools, faith-based organizations, and community-focused commercial real estate projects. * Research and report on financial markets to support policies and industry practices that lower the cost of poverty and promote ownership.

🎉 July is Disability Pride Month! This month, we celebrate the strength, diversity, and resilience of the disability community—and mark the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This landmark law broke down barriers and advanced civil rights. While progress has been made, there’s still work to do to ensure true accessibility and inclusion in all spaces. Let’s keep pushing for systems that uplift everyone, because equity means designing a world where all people can thrive. 💬 Learn more about Disability Pride and how we can all be better advocates: https://lnkd.in/ehkecmYj #DisabilityPrideMonth #ADAAnniversary #AccessibilityMatters #SelfHelpCreditUnion #EqualAccessForAll
