ADVANCING ECONOMIC MOBILITY
•Economic success. When a person has adequate income and assets to support their and their family’s
material well-being.
•Being valued in community. When a person feels the respect, dignity, and sense of belonging that
comes from contributing to and being appreciated by people in their community.
•Power and autonomy. When a person has the ability to have control over their life, to make choices,
and to influence larger policies and actions that affect their future.
