MAINstream Markets & Information for People & Communities

  Alyssa Stewart Lee, President and Founder

Millions of Americans operated ineffectively or even outside of the financial mainstream 

in the United States, constricting opportunity to attain their American dreams

because of one or more of the following reasons:

• LIMITED ACCESS TO MAINSTREAM FINANCE
• OVERUSE OF CREDIT
• UNPREPARED FOR UNTIMELY DEATH
  
• SCRAPPING BY IN THE GOLDEN YEARS

 (click here for statistics).  

Those most underserved are middle to low income families and individuals, 

people of color and immigrants.

What is needed is transformative change to improve life circumstances with swift implementation.   

• Americans need to become financially literate - to read and comprehend their financial situations - and have the right tools available to them to chart a course to their dreams.  
•  At the same time, ineffective market structures need to be adjusted to meet the needs of the majority of Americans. 

 Transformative change can occur when information is coupled with effective market-based strategies.
