Fox Cities Project Promise Poverty Coalition Goals
The Fox Cities Project Promise Poverty Coalition will:
1. maintain a long-term focus on fighting poverty in the community.
2. establish priorities based on the needs of the community and consistent with existing community plans.
3. facilitate connectivity between all those involved in service to those in poverty but will not regulate their activities.
4. document and build awareness of the continuum of care of poverty services.
5. help educate the community on poverty and services so that every member of the community will know a few key poverty facts, such as:
- The number and percentage of people living at or below 100% of the federal poverty guideline
- The percentage of children qualifying for free or reduced lunch
- The number of homeless people
- The awareness of the 2-1-1 service
- Current priorities of the Coalition
6. help educate the electorate about policy and its impact to those living in poverty.
7. not become an agency, but will be an entity organized and run by volunteers that engages other agencies, businesses and the community at large in activities that work to end poverty.
