AFI Project Design & Implementation (Part I):

Focus:

In this presentation, participants were introduced to designing and implementing an effective IDA project (part 1 of 2). The webinar covered key elements of effective workplans, strategies for selecting your client population and determining the services they may need to succeed with their IDA. Participants learned good practices from current Assets for Independence program grantees about the IDA savings match rates and other account design features.

This webinar focused on the following topics for prospective grantees:

• Assets for Independence Work Plan Requirements
• Strategies for selecting your client population
• Determining services and participant savings match rates and account design features
• Q&A around AFI Project Design and Implementation
