To establish comprehensive access to programs that provide both the immediate necessities of life and the skills, tools and opportunities our neighbors need to establish security for themselves, their families and communities. We Believe: That all people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Structural race, gender and other inequities remain barriers that must be addressed. This nation has the capacity and moral obligation to ensure that no one is forced to endure the hardships of poverty. With hope, adequate resources and opportunities, everyone can reach their fullest potential, and we are committed to achieving that vision. In creating an environment that pursues innovation and excellence through multi-sector partnership and collaboration.
