Summary
"This plan is a blue print and a series of first steps to build that kind of community and those kinds of systems. It is open-ended enough to allow residents who are struggling with these issues to sit at the leadership table and guide not just the details of the implementation of this document, but also its inevitable and expected evolution. What works on Duke Street may not work on Queen Street. What works in the Southeast may not work in the Southwest. This plan must remain flexible. This plan is also firm in its insistence that residents who understand poverty best must be at the table shoulder to shoulder with clergy, employers, policymakers, academics and the nonprofits that have initially agreed to be accountable for the process. Every sector of our community must be engaged. This plan is a call to action: to bring your wisdom and energy to bear on this crucial starting point,and work with us to make this imperfect plan more perfect through your effort. There will be much to do now that this document has been bound and released: specialized action teams to fill with people who can get things done across a broad spectrum of goals. We hope you’'re one of those people." [from the forward]
