THE INSTITUTE PURSUES RESEARCH AND SPECIAL PROJECTS that deepen public understanding and influence public debate about asset formation policies and practices on the national, state, and local levels. Our research identifies new areas of inquiry and highlights what is working, what still needs to be addressed, and how issues may be reframed, analyzed and measured. Special projects stemming from collaborative relationships include program evaluations, technical assistance, community engagement, and coalition formation - all informed by our research to build knowledge and a common vision.
