Empowerment Economics is a culturally responsive, multi-generational framework for financial capability in low-income Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AA and NHPI) communities, as well as other communities of color and low-income communities. While traditional financial capability focuses on wealth building at the individual level, Empowerment Economics focuses on collective wealth building at the community level. This approach creates transformational opportunities for building community self-determination and wealth.
Empowerment Economics is based on the financial capability practices of Hawaiian Community Assets (HCA). National CAPACD funds this work and continues to explore and develop Empowerment Economics as a model that meets the unique needs of AA and NHPI communities and other communities of color.
