The Boone Upward Mobility Project is an interagency initiative of the Boone County Community Services Department intended to boost mobility from poverty and ensure that prosperity is shared by all residents. Through this project, the Boone County Core Team will use the results-based accountability framework to center data, equity, and community engagement to address inequities in economic and social outcomes. This work focuses on the priority areas of housing, early-grade literacy, and employment and workforce development.

The Boone County Core Team’s vision for this work is to have the community, especially those with lived experiences in the priority areas, drive the plans and solutions. The Boone County Core Team involved community stakeholders in analyzing the data, selecting priorities, setting goals, developing strategies, and guiding the implementation of strategic actions identified by the community. By creating a racially diverse coalition of community members and stakeholders, the Mobility Action Plan will reflect a planning process that is tailored to community needs and is solutions focused.
