Financial Fitness™

    

Healthy Initiatives™

  
  Decent housing represents a pillar for economic security. Studies are now being released that show women have been disproportionately affected by the fallout from the recent housing crisis. Statistics don’t readily show us the fact that women represent the strongest asset to pull themselves and their families out of poverty.

These workshops focus on showing everyday individuals how to reshape and plan strategies to change their own personal paths to financial fitness and liberty. 

Tri-Coastal believes that when women start businesses, they not only create jobs, but they create a cycle of economic stability and tangible ways to address the wealth gap, providing themselves with the basic resources to lift themselves and their families out of poverty.

 

     47 million Americans – including nearly 9 million children – lack health insurance.

More than 19 million women are uninsured in this country, and women are more likely than men to delay or not get medical care because of high costs.

AARP studies show that women are more often at risk during retirement because they lack one of more of the four basic pillars: Social Security, pensions and savings, earned income and health care coverage. 
The mental and physical well being (health) of the community is addressed through educational workshops, free health screenings and access to care. Tri-Coastal has partnered with many area health providers to offer such workshops, (i.e., cancer awareness, STD education and testing, cardiovascular Disease, medication recognition and many others).

The health of a community is directly effected by the amount of knowledge in which it possesses.
