"It's time we harness the full power of our vast investments to renew faith in an American dream that works for everyone."
About the Book
For millions of Americans, full-time work no longer guarantees financial security, homeownership feels out of reach, and opportunity depends too much on who you are or where you live.
Investing in America tells the inspiring stories of the innovators addressing these shared challenges by providing fair financing solutions to overlooked people and communities. From Maine to California, Alaska to Florida, and 38 states in between, these examples show a new way to solve seemingly intractable challenges. The book describes what a reader with a savings account, $1, and an internet connection can do to Invest in America themselves.
Expanding access to finance alone will not solve these challenges. But solving them will be impossible unless we do.
This patriotic, bipartisan, and optimistic book shows how we can get that done.
