You may recall that some months back Patti Vickman of the Oshkosh Area School District and Sue Panek of the Oshkosh Area United Way presented information on a grassroots initiative called the Self Sufficiency Project. The group has a few different subcommittees working on tasks to further the work of the group.
One such subcommittee, the "Dashboard" team has assembled local data on "self-sufficiency" in the Oshkosh area. I thought that you might be interested in this data.
Visit the webpage at: http://www.oshkoshpubliclibrary.org/community/selfsufficiency
The introduction to the page is as follows:
"Everyday thousands of low-income children and families are struggling to become self-sufficient. They're faced with the hard realities of low-wage work, child care problems, insufficient access to health care, food insecurity, and homelessness.
The data found on this webpage presents a snapshot of the Oshkosh community, including Winneconne and Omro, on issues that impact the ability of an individual or family to be self-sufficient (i.e. employment, housing, health care, food and child care)."
