Part of understanding local needs is to understand the experiences of local people living in poverty. Using demographic indicators such as gender, age, race and geography, among others, we gain a picture of those needs as well as of the barriers to prosperity. The
2011 Prosperity Projects are a continuation of the 2006 work conducted by the Whatcom Coalition for Healthy Communities. The study explores experiences of poverty in Whatcom, San Juan and Island Counties and was sponsored by United Way of Whatcom County, Whatcom Community Foundation, Island County, San Juan County and the Opportunity Council.
