Goals and Objectives

In order to address its poverty issues and those issues facing low and moderate-income residents, the City should adopt a set of policies and strategies to continuously address issues of poverty and those issues that impact the social welfare of its citizens. A list of these recommendations is as follows:

Create a collaborative social welfare task force composed of major institutions, agencies, and citizen groups in the City to study and report on these issues annually.

Evaluate the current social welfare delivery system and make recommendations to make the system more efficient for client populations.

Provide additional resources to the Office of Human Services, which would allow the agency to leverage other funds in the system and allow OHS to hire additional staff to seek public and private funds for social welfare programs.

Provide additional funds to community based organizations and faith-based organizations in census tracts that have the highest rates of poverty.

Promote human development investment the City’s poorer neighborhoods.

Provide resources and technical assistance to multi-cultural agencies to establish and maintain ethnic group resettlement programs.

Adopt a workable housing affordability strategic plan for the City’s neighborhoods.

Create a strategy to attract industrial and commercial blue-collar employers to the City to increase the number of jobs for low and moderate-income entry-level workers.

Maintain and enhance the standard of living in the City’s lower income neighborhoods.

Redirect Renewal Community funding to address the basic needs of residents in those communities to enhance resident’s choices and chances to improve their standard of living.

Collaborate with the County’s Human Services Department to increase the level of services to the youth and senior populations.

Collaborate with the Board of Education to provide non-traditional programs and day care services in the City’s poorer neighborhoods.

Provide innovative transportation programs that make suburban job centers more accessible to inner city residents.
