| Collapse all
- Affordable Housing - Affordable Housing is the biggest threat to the quality of life for our most vulnerable residents. We are rapidly producing two distinct communities; one made up the “haves” and the other made up of the “have nots”. Continuing the current course will lead to catastrophic results for the future of our community and residents. People need and deserve a safe and affordable place to live. It is the role of government to work to remove the barriers and ensure a level playing field for all residents.
- Education - To break the cycles of poverty and address institutional inequities, our community must be committed to leveraging education as the great equalizer for our most vulnerable citizens. College & Career Readiness are essential components of our approach that will produce a highly trained and skilled workforce and inevitably yield high quality standards of living for those that choose the path of career readiness and skilled trades over the traditional college degree route. Comprehensive strategies around education are the primary factors that will lead people out of poverty, expand economic opportunity, and create a competitive and thriving workforce.
- Economic Mobility - The County Commission is directly responsible for impacting the quality of life of individuals in our community. It is imperative that we focus on issues of poverty, education, access to resources, and institutional structures that create inequity among our most vulnerable populations.
