Data Collection & Regional Needs Assessment
United Way of the River Cities has conducted a comprehensive regional analysis to identify key economic challenges impacting ALICE households. This research serves as the foundation for policy recommendations, programmatic solutions, and funding strategies that will guide the next phases of the initiative.
Community Leaders Congress & Task Force
The inaugural Community Leaders Congress will convene government officials, anchor institutions, nonprofit leaders, businesses, and community stakeholders to analyze research findings and launch regional task forces focused on issues including workforce development, transportation, and childcare. These task forces will develop targeted action plans to align resources and implement solutions that remove barriers to economic mobility.
Implementation of the Community Opportunity Plan
Task forces will develop and execute action plans aimed at expanding workforce pipelines, strengthening community partnerships, and improving support services. These strategies will increase financial stability and drive sustainable economic growth in the region.
Annual Progress Evaluations & Adjustments
The Congress will reconvene annually to assess progress, refine strategies, and expand initiatives based on evolving community needs. Task forces will track measurable outcomes, identify new funding opportunities, and adjust strategies for maximum impact.
