Reports from Windows of Focus

1) Poverty Reduction Alliance – Following up from Bridges out of Poverty workshop the

steering committee had the opportunity to spend the next morning with Gayle (presenter).

She helped frame some next steps in terms of bringing in the voice of lived experience

Gayle emphasized the importance of agencies examining what they are doing now, and

identifying ways to work together to support families (many of them are the same). We need

to have leadership from those with “lived experience”. UCLG will pilot Getting Ahead

program. (for adults over 26)… Getting Ahead provides people in poverty with the same

information found in Bridges Out of Poverty,which was developed for professionals and

others in the community working to end poverty.

2) Triple P(Cathy Millard)Meeting October 27 Discussion about engagement in community

planning – who needs to be at the table and how often.
