policies.
Focus of Activities (What We Do):
- The ongoing and increasing needs of people who rely on government
assistance and who continue to lack alternative means to meet their basic
needs and move toward greater self-sufficiency. - The lack of educational opportunities, job training and shortage of jobs that
pay a wage that can sustain a family’s basic needs. - The needs for employment support services such as child care, public
transportation and health care coverage. - Providing for those persons who are not for all practical purposes,
employable in our present system.
