Civic & Social Organization - Lancaster, Pennsylvania, United States
The Lancaster Coalition to Combat Poverty is a collective-impact community effort that is focused on cutting poverty in half in the City of Lancaster by 2032. The Coalition was formed in early 2017 as a result of the 14 months of research and community meetings conducted by the Mayor's Commission to Combat Poverty. The structure of the Coalition was determined by best practices, the priorities identified by the Commission, and multiple efforts not to reinvent or compete with existing groups addressing key issues. Through intentional partnerships between local non-profit organizations, businesses, government institutions, and Lancaster residents, the Coalition focuses on four key action areas that impact poverty: workforce, housing, education, and community. We recognize that in order to move the needle on poverty, we must create a strong network that actively engages every sector of our community.
