Raise awareness of basic needs assistance in our community and maximize the number of people receiving this information by crafting the Community Resources 101 initiative so that it includes multi-lingual outreach and outreach to single parent households. Two-thirds of children that are low-income live with a single parent so consideration must be given to how we can extend resources to children of single parents and expand work from home solutions.
Education indicators • Children enter kindergarten ready to learn • % who graduate from high school in four years • % seniors who are “college ready” Where do we stand? Who is collaborating to improve this indicator? What more needs to be done?
