Adult Self-Sufficiency
More than 48,000 working Colorado families live in poverty. Fourty-one percent of low-income workers are parents supporting families but do not make enough to meet basic needs: child care, clothing, health care, housing and transportation without assistance. Colorado has the fastest growing rate of children in poverty in the country. Mile High United Way’s Adult Self-Sufficiency Initiative provides individuals and families with the tools and resources necessary to become fi nancially stable and self-suffi cient. Communities will thrive based on how well they cultivate and retain knowledgable and skilled workers with an entrepreneural approach to work and career management.Last year Mile High United Way's Adult Self-Sufficiency Initiative helped 460,000 individuals and families move toward self-sufficiency. |
