Policies & Recommendations for an Inclusive Economy

Creating Systemic Change in the following areas by

Navigating the System of Care

Enhancing connections between service providers, employees, and residents to improve system-wide collaboration, system navigation, client experience, and client engagement by sustaining a centralized system for information-sharing and non-traditional marketing campaigns.

Leveling the Benefits Cliff

Reducing the impact of the Fiscal Benefits Cliff and encouraging residents to climb it, cultivate an environment among non-profit service providers, employers, and government agencies that enhance worker's benefits, specifically for caregiving (child, elderly, or person who is disabled), transportation, housing, and other basic needs, to decrease structural barriers to residents and increase employee retention.

Needs for a Living Wage

Fostering collaboration between service providers and employers to establish and incentivize on-the-job and short-term training pathways for in-demand skills and jobs with career ladder opportunities. 

Rethinking Human Resources

 Collaborating with Human Resources departments to revamp job descriptions and requirements, while also exploring diverse work options, with the ultimate goal of breaking down employment barriers and enhancing both recruitment and employee retention. 

Mutual Accountability

Encouraging community-certified accountability measures for system-wide collaboration, service delivery, and funding. 

Basic & Fundamental Needs

Guaranteeing that services supporting and addressing the basic needs of a community's ability to achieve economic mobility are available, accessible, and of high quality. 

Community Action PLan

To create a more inclusive economy in Broward County, a Community Action Plan was created that promotes policies and best practices that can remove barriers preventing residents from reaching their ultimate potential.


The Community Action Plan focuses on some of the biggest barriers identified by residents, employers, and service providers.

These include (1) the difficulty of navigating the system of care and knowing about all the resources our partners have to offer. (2) Facing a system where residents are discouraged from pursuing higher wages because of the loss in benefits. (3) The need for living wage jobs that have a low barrier to entry. (4) Helping employers attract more talent by rethinking HR practices. (5) The need for standards, guidelines, and accountability mechanisms among partners to improve community outreach and services. (6) Make basic needs readily available and accessible to residents.
