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.

May is AANHPI Heritage Month. Self-Help honors the vibrant cultures and vital contributions of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities. But did you know that elder financial exploitation is one of the most common harms reported among elder Asian Americans? According to NAPCA, 18% of respondents reported financial mistreatment. And while 73% of AANHPI adults over 50 feel confident spotting scams, only 29% passed AARP’s fraud quiz. In our latest blog post, we explore what elder financial abuse looks like, unique challenges AANHPI elders face, and red flags to watch for.
