Targets: Where are we trying to get to?

[A coalition of local groups would need to develop a set of local targets under this Global Goal (targets that at least meet the global targets), and a structure for meeting those targets, including ongoing coordination, public outreach, funding, and public tracking.]

Example Local Targets:

  • “By December 2030, all Marin County residents are aware of, knowledgeable about, local programs that: a) alleviate the symptoms of poverty, b) alleviate the conditions that lead to poverty, and c) help individuals and families exit poverty.”
  • “By December 2030, all Marin County residents are either living at or above the self-sufficiency line, as calculated by the Insight Center of California, or their life circumstances are unimpacted by the characteristics associated with poverty.”
