Press Release
Officials with Prosper Springfield, a collective impact model initiative, announced today that Springfield’s poverty rate has declined to a five-year low. At 22.9 percent, however, Francine Pratt, Prosper Springfield Executive Director, says there is much more work to do.
In 2013, a 30-plus member Impacting Poverty Commission convened by Prosper Springfield backbone agency Community Partnership of the Ozarks, used a Collective Impact Model with representatives from private, public and social sectors to convene, research and understand the major causes and impacts of poverty.
