What:
Invites the Niagara Falls community to attend a Stakeholders Meeting to discuss
a new economic empowerment initiative in Niagara Falls
When:
Wednesday, September 18th, 9:00 am—12 Noon
Where: Family
& Children’s Services Building, 1522 Main Street, Niagara Falls, 14305
Why:
As everyone can agree, persistent poverty across Niagara County is a major
concern. While there is no magic cure, CCCS Buffalo wants to create
lasting economic change, based on successful programming in Erie County, and
will launch the Niagara County Financial Literacy Coalition in November 2013.
The Niagara County Financial Literacy Coalition will focus on the financial
stability of low-income families--increasing access to tax credits, refunds,
and needed income supports; improving financial literacy, and providing
opportunities for homeownership, education, or other asset building.
Niagara Falls Community
members are encouraged to attend this session. Please contact Tara at 712-2062
or tara.vogel@cccsbuffalo.org
to reserve your space.
Collaboration and synergistic
partnerships play a key a role in this project. We plan to fully engage our
partners in building the Coalition, and have received an overwhelmingly
positive response from all of them. To date, we have forged partnerships with
the following Niagara County providers:
•
United Way of Greater Niagara
•
Family & Children’s Service of Niagara
•
The Red Cross
•
Literacy Volunteers
•
NCAP (Niagara Community Action Program)
