| Los Angeles Valley College intends to use its Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) grant to train individuals in financial literacy and homeownership, and financial literacy and entrepreneurial microenterprise enrichment through its Money-Management Awareness Program (Valley MAP). Valley MAP will target the low- to moderate-income residents of the Northeast San Fernando Valley, including but not limited to the cities of Pacoima, North Hills, Sun Valley, North Hollywood, Panorama City, and Sylmar with special focus on minorities and persons with limited English proficiency. Outcomes for participating in Valley MAP include measurable increases in financial literacy; increased utilization of traditional banking institutions; increased homeownership; and the development, stabilization, and strengthening of microenterprise ownership and entrepreneurship.
