ABOUT US

NSI Income to Assets provides tangible ways to close the regional racial wealth gap through direct investment in assets, upward income mobility, and expert guidance in homeownership, entrepreneurship, savings, investments, and legacy planning.

NSI consists of a financial well-being center and a career accelerator. It targets the A.L.I.C.E. population, who represent 134,000 residents in Washington, D.C., alone and within reach of the middle class. Individuals work directly with a licensed and experienced wealth advisor to position themselves to attain and retain an asset. This includes restoring/establishing credit, adjusting expenditures, and creating a short- to midterm plan for success.

Additionally, the Institute allows residents to obtain or recapture credentials that increase income and mobility quickly. The Institute invests directly in individuals' plans to accelerate asset attainment/retainment.

TARGET POPULATION

A.L.I.C.E. - asset limited, income constrained, employed, is a term coined by the United Way, which disproportionately describes households of color. A.L.I.C.E. individuals are the backbone of our economy. They are healthcare providers, teachers, retail clerks, and sanitation workers. In Washington, D.C., where the population is just over 700,000 people, 134,314 individuals are classified as A.L.I.C.E.

The A.L.I.C.E. population is the ideal target group because they are in a position to attain/retain assets. This population is not in emergency status; they are within arm's length of owning a home, beginning to save and invest, and starting a business. They may also inherit an asset and need assistance in navigating how to manage keeping it, given their current financial status.
