As evidenced by the rich array of activity documented in the course of conducting this field scan, OCS is to be commended for the amount of innovation, excitement and experimentation it has catalyzed through the various ASSET Initiative projects over the past several years. Because of this effort and investment, there is a real opportunity to generate measurable improvements in financial security outcomes for vulnerable families during the next phase of work in the ASSET Initiative Partnership. By aligning asset-building strategies within broader program goals, leveraging current operating standards, and building on existing family interactions, we can establish a strong foundation for asset-building strategies to be sustainably embedded into a range of HHS programs.
