Asset building is an anti-poverty strategy helping low-income people move toward greater economic independence by saving and purchasing long-term assets. Building assets, as a complement to increasing income, provides the necessary stability to escape the cycle of poverty."  The site offers free downloads of various publications relating to "Individual Development Accounts," including:

• Use of Individual Development Accounts by People with Disabilities: Barriers and Solutions

• Individual Development Account Question and Answer Sheet: A Guide for IDA Consumers with Disabilities

• Individual Development Accounts: A Golden Opportunity for Persons with Disabilities
