    NLEN Core Values

    Neighborhood-focused employment initiatives are fundamental.

    Successful programs are neighborhood-focused and community-driven so they meet the specific needs of individuals.

    Quality of work matters.

    People who work hard should not be poor. A full-time job must meet basic needs and offer conditions for engagement, advancement, and respect.

    Economic mobility is essential to reducing poverty.

    Family supporting wages and financial literacy are core to addressing economic insecurity, which disproportionally affects African American, Latino, and other families of color. Economic insecurity is not only impacting the poor; it has grown to threaten the middle class. Self-employment and entrepreneurship are critically important economic mobility strategies to generate income and boost household finances.

    We must address the racial wealth gap and social inequality.

    The United States' history of racially charged public policy has created the modern racial wealth divide not just through the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow, but through the more recent race-based discrimination in hiring, housing subsidies, tax subsidies, and veteran benefits as well as other implicitly and explicitly racist public policies.

    Everyone deserves human dignity and empowerment.

    To uphold this belief, we do all of our work in a manner that values human dignity and eliminates shame, humiliation, and stigma by building on the strengths that help our participants and community survive loss and trauma and rebalance the power dynamic between participants and authority figures.
