COJ Strategic Partnerships Update |
|
Community Goals Framework |
|
To ensure the alignment of public, private and philanthropic investments, the Strategic Partnerships Steering Committee developed the Community Goals Framework to create a common language that all sectors could use to define their investments. This framework was based off national and state models used by municipalities, national philanthropic organizations and state associations, and it represents all community impact areas.
The quality of life of our citizens is interdependent upon the achievement of the below nine goals to create emotional, physical, material, and social well-being. We will be highlighting initiatives, partnerships and investments within each of these goals over the next several months.
1. Quality Places: Create and maintain civic assets that activate a sense of community for the benefit of all.
2. Resilient Infrastructure and Natural Resources: Promote resilient and connected infrastructure and ensure the sustainable use of natural resources.
3. Vibrant and Thriving Neighborhoods: Enhance neighborhoods by advancing revitalization strategies, ensuring public safety, and supporting smart development.
4. Innovation and Economic Development: Foster innovation, promote economic stability and growth, and invest in a skilled and prepared workforce.
5. Equitable and Shared Prosperity: Achieve a path to prosperity for all by reducing barriers to access and promoting equality and opportunity.
6. Economic Mobility: Foster economic opportunity that leads to independence and self-sufficiency.
7. Quality Education: Provide high-quality, world-class education and promote learning opportunities.
8. Health and Wellness: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all.
9. Food Security and Nutrition: Achieve food security and improve nutrition outcomes.
