Pierce County Asset Building Coalition

The Pierce County Asset Building Coalition is a collaboration of 50 partners working to actively engage all of Pierce County residents in building prosperity.

Too many families are "asset poor" -- if their income is disrupted they don't have the resources to sustain themselves even at the poverty level for a three-month period. A temporary job loss or health problem can throw them into crisis.

The Pierce County Asset Building Coalition grew out of a determination to go beyond the safety net. Coalition partners are developing programs to give low-income wage-earners the tools they need to control, manage and increase their financial resources.
