Policies & Recommendations for an Inclusive Economy

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.

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.

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. 

 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. 

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

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.
