Economic Mobility - Prosperity Broward
The Economic Mobility Pillar (Prosperity Broward) is a unique initiative of the Prosperity Partnership. The Prosperity Broward initiative is driving economic mobility through a community-focused lens. Prosperity Broward is engaging municipal leaders, funders, educational institutions, social service and faith-based organizations, business leaders, and residents to make a bold commitment to collaboration and coordination to create system changes to overcome decades of structural racism and lack of equal opportunities and resources in the economic-challenged communities.

Prosperity Broward is launching a ground-breaking pilot project to increase economic mobility through policy and system changes. To identify the area and population for the pilot, Prosperity Broward's Data Working Group analyzed our local communities, which identified single mothers from Lauderdale Lakes as the segment of our population experiencing the highest level of disparities.
