ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from the City Manager with a Request to RECEIVE and FILE a PRESENTATION from GREATER PEORIA LISC Regarding their 2018 WORK PLAN.
Body
BACKGROUND: LISC's strategy seeks to revitalize neighborhoods and improve the quality of life for families through three key areas:
1. Building the Physical Environment
LISC believes a safe, affordable home is one of the basic requisites of life - a key to individual health and well-being and the foundation for sustainable, economically vibrant and diverse neighborhoods.
2. Increasing Family Income & Wealth
Healthy, sustainable communities are made up of people who have living wage jobs and feel confident about their economic futures. To get there, residents need the skills to advance along the path of employment and manage their money well.
3. Developing Community Partner Capacity
LISC's work hinges on the insight, experience and expertise of hundreds of community development groups rebuilding neighborhoods across the country. The better they do their job, the better we can do ours--and the more communities we support together.
Greater Peoria LISC Executive Director Karen Davis will present accomplishments of the prior year and a look ahead to the work of 2018.
