Boston Globe Editorial on IDAs

The Boston Globe weighs in enthusiastically on the power of individual development accounts (IDAs) and notes that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has chosen the recipients of a second round of state funding for IDA accounts across the state. 

That $600,000 allocation includes renewed support for the Berkshire Community Action Council’s IDA program through the MASSCAP consortium, along with support for the new Berkshire County low-income artist IDA program that we plan to roll out in early 2008 through the Midas collaborative.  Lots of exciting work to look forward to.
