Poverty in our community is connected to many of the other social concerns our community has been working collectively to address over a number of years.

​The goal of the Thrive project is to bring all stakeholders together to tackle poverty at its foundation, using innovative approaches that get us beyond the generosity of charity to the fundamental changes needed to ensure all community members have the opportunity to thrive.

The Three Phases of Thrive

​Identifying the key challenges related to poverty through a Poverty Profile of our community and an exploration of what is working in other communities​
Designing innovative, actionable strategies that will make the most impact in our community
Initiating and implementing strategic actions to make change in our community
