Asset-Building Coalitions in Oregon and North Carolina: Two Case Studies

The purpose of the project was to garner important learnings from coalition-building efforts that could inform state-level assets policy advocates across the country. We hoped that these learnings might reveal whether or not the development of diverse, broad-based, and effective assets coalitions effectively increases opportunities for asset building and asset protection for people with low to moderate incomes.
