What would it look like to launch 2,000 people on the path to self-sufficiency in 2,000 days in your community? United Way of the Piedmont realized that through the Community Investment Process nearly 75% of the resources earmarked for Financial Stability were allocated to the Safety Net services, leaving only 25% to invest in programs that help families acquire and manage resources at the self-sufficient level. Understanding the importance of equally investing in programs on both ends of the spectrum, the Board of the United Way decided to launch the Financial Stability Initiative.

The initiative is led by 25 leaders from all sectors of the community. And yes, their mission is to move 2,000 families on to the path to self-sufficiency. In this webinar, we will explore the keys to self-sufficiency they identified for their community, and how they are overcoming obstacles and innovating new solutions. We will also discuss the partnerships and tools being used to collaborate as a community and see forward movement towards their goals. This includes creating more opportunities for:

--Affordable Housing
--Transportation
--Child Care
--Job Training
--Financial Literacy
--Care Coordination

In this webinar, we will also look at how this community is using CharityTracker Plus and the Outcomes Module for Case Management and collective reporting.
