As part of its Economic Development work, Redwood City is <br />developing an Economic Mobility Action Plan that identifies steps our organization and <br />community are taking to advance opportunity for all. In 2024, the City conducted a landscape <br />analysis of organizations providing services related to basic needs, workforce development, job <br />searching, and financial literacy. The landscape has helped staff identify strengths and gaps in <br />current economic mobility supports. From this initial analysis, the City was able to identify <br />several short-term actions to which it could commit. <br /> <br />Moving forward, staff are working with local community partners to explore longer-term <br />commitments to economic mobility. The City, in partnership with surrounding communities and <br />local social service and housing providers, will strive for the goals and strategies below to help <br />households stay out of poverty or become self-sufficient and elevate themselves from living in <br />poverty. <br /> <br />x Promote economic empowerment by supporting facilities, services and activities aimed <br />at developing the self-sufficiency for all low to moderate-income residents. Programs <br />and activities to be supported, by a variety of City funding sources, over the next year <br />include microenterprise assistance, youth services, legal and fair housing assistance, job <br />7.A. - Page 83 of 189 <br />287
