Welcome!
The Washington Asset Building Coalition works to promote policies and programs that help moderate and low-income families in Washington state build, maintain and preserve financial assets through investments in education, savings, homeownership and entrepreneurship.
Check out the latest report on Federal Asset-Building Policies:
The New America Foundation has released its Assets Report 2012: An Assessment of the Federal “Asset-Building” Budget, which quantifies how government policies affect asset-building among low- and moderate-income Americans. An infographic converts the analysis in the report into a visual narrative that shows how resources are distributed in a series of issue areas, including savings and investment, retirement savings, educational pursuit, entrepreneurship, and homeownership.
