- Ensure that children are well-educated and equipped for economic self-reliance in the 21st Century;
- Help adults and older youth to attain economic self-sufficiency through good jobs, homeownership and entrepreneurship;
- Ensure that individuals and families in our community have access to fair and affordable housing,
