2007-2008 Accomplishments
- Based on Task Force success in moving work responding first to poverty
issues causing emergencies, then assistance, recommended that the Coordinating
Committee change the ENTF
name to Essential Needs Task Force. - Continued to weave community basic needs systems more closely with joint work between ENTF Subcommittees while formally connecting each Task Force component with the Kent School Service Network.
- Expanded the ENTF website (www.accesskent.com/ENTF) as the information repository for the community’s self-sufficiency support collaborative.
2008-2009 Agenda
- Continue work on coordinated poverty reduction initiatives while making the basic needs emergency response systems more effective and efficient.
- Continue data driven management, inter-committee communication and coordination while keeping the current, Task Force collaborative, low-cost management tradition in place.
- Expand basic needs funding, education and advocacy, building on the self-sufficiency focus.
