In July 2000, the Taipei City Government launched an anti-poverty program, Taipei Family Development Accounts, which drew heavily on Sherraden?s asset-based welfare theory, and was to provide matched savings accounts for low-income families in the City. This paper presents the ?income to assets? policy shift process and a research summary on the participants to date.
