The Center for Working Families, Inc. chose to target its work in the neighborhoods of Neighborhood Planning Unit-V (NPU-V) because research showed that many of Atlanta’s most vulnerable children were concentrated in those six neighborhoods. By providing the parents, caregivers, and neighbors of those children with the services and supports they need to both begin a successful career and build savings a wealth, we are seeking to improve the conditions for those children and for the community at large.

Our aspirations are ambitious. To be successful in achieving them, we will be drawing on the support of countless partners. Those partners include:

• NPU-V residents who share with us their own personal goals and fears as they chart out a new path towards family economic success and as they share information about us with their neighbors, family members and co-workers.
• Service partners who link with us to enable us to provide residents with the full array of wrap around services they need to be successful.
• Employer partners who draw upon our services as they seek highly motivated and trained employees, thereby providing resident participants with the opportunity to begin a successful career.
• Community partners who share information about our services with community residents.
• Investors who are seeking to strengthen community, to prevent and respond to homelessness, to support workforce development, to help low-income families build assets and/or to strengthen the connection between fathers and their children and families.
• Government agencies who are looking for an opportunity to better serve their clients by co-locating with the Center or by becoming a part of a comprehensive network of support for their clients.
• Atlanta area volunteers who would like to offer their skills and services to improve the lives of children and families in NPU-V.

We welcome all of these partners to join us as we seek to build capacity among residents and community based organizations that will lead to economic self-sufficiency in the lives of individuals, families and communities in Atlanta’s Neighborhood Planning Unit-V.
