With funding from the Ford Foundation, in May 2009 NEW completed Proyecto Adelante. The goal of the pilot program was to educate Latino families about asset protection and development and provide policy recommendations on enhancing the field of asset development. Twenty-seven families participated in the intensive program which was conducted over a seven-month period. The resulting Ethnography and White Paper are available here for download.
