OUR VISION

We imagine a community where poverty is no longer a barrier to opportunity. We believe that each person has tremendous potential and that we all have a role in eliminating systemic disadvantages so that all people can thrive and succeed, and everyone has the opportunity to live in decent, safe, and affordable housing, receive a quality education, be employed at a fair wage, have access to healthy food and healthcare, share in prosperity, and reach their full potential.

OUR MISSION

To ensure those impacted by poverty
have the skills, resources and opportunities to
achieve their full potential.
