Building Assets * Building Stronger Families:
Acknowledging financial assets as the foundation to financial stability and long-term wealth accumulation, the Assets for Independence demonstration program targets the needs of low-income individuals and families for advancement through financial education and matched savings accounts. Building Assets * Building Stronger Families extends these principles by providing tools and strategies to integrate asset-building and family stability within ACF-supported programs. This manual presents an overview of asset-building and a series of 50 training modules for family-focused programs to showcase the profound connection between economic security and strong families. ACF programs can use this resource to promote family-strengthening activities as appropriate within their respective projects. Building Assets * Building Stronger Families is available at http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/ocs/afi/buildingassets/babsf_narr1.htm.
