NEW! APIC is releasing its 2nd annual Asset Policy Inventory, a tool that tracks current asset-building legislation in the State's capital.  To learn about recently chaptered, vetoed, and active legislation that are being heard in the State's Senate and Assembly Click here.  The inventory is a living document and will be updated frequently to reflect timely action in Sacramento.
 
Asset-building policies support families to build wealth for current and future generations. Policies such as the Homestead Act and the GI Bill provided millions of Americans with homes and education and set the stage for multi-generational transfers of wealth.
 
The Asset Action Center provides us with opportunities to change this reality. Under each tab below, we have listed a number of state and federal legislative proposals that would help expand the reach and depth of asset-building policies to benefit all American families.
