Welcome
The North Carolina Assets Alliance is a state-wide coalition of public, private and non-profit organizations whose shared vision is to expand economic opportunity and build a more stable financial future for all North Carolinians.
The N.C. Assets Alliance educates the public and policymakers about asset-based strategies that connect households and communities to work and income supports, provide opportunities to generate savings, and build and protect assets.
Latest Asset Building News
North Carolina’s full economic recovery will require the creation of jobs and greater support for North Carolina’s workers so that households can meet their immediate needs and invest in their household’s long-term security. This means that policymakers must make efforts to address the state’s high unemployment rate a priority. The N.C. Assets Alliance is committed to working with policymakers to promote economic opportunity for all North Carolinians.
Latest Asset Building Research
A new expanded measure of asset poverty, The Asset Security and Opportunity Index, has been developed by the Institute for Assets and Social Policy at Brandeis University. The measure takes into account not only the security that assets bring but also the opportunity that assets make possible. The findings suggest that more than half of Americans are without both asset security and asset opportunity.
