This report describes the current gap between asset-building resources and the needs of individuals and families of low or moderate income in the State of Delaware. The report includes recommendations for strengthening the programs and policies that will help all Delawareans gain financial assets. It is our hope that experts and practitioners throughout Delaware will be able to use this information to prioritize the research-based recommendations included in this report and create a business plan outlining a high-impact program and policy agenda to assist financially vulnerable populations in building and protecting assets.
