Summary
High levels of wealth inequality, combined with insufficient policymaker attention to the asset base of the poor, warrant discussion of emerging public policies to build assets for the poor. This paper summarizes current federal asset-building policies; offers principles and guidelines for designing and advancing more ambitious policies to build assets; and proposes nine specific policy options to build assets inclusively.
