behalf.
The members of the EOC review, study and hear presentations from members of the
community to assist them in studying the root causes of poverty in the county. They use this
information to develop funding strategies to address these root causes. One of their primary
strategies is to seek out partnerships with other community organizations that are also
pursuing long-range strategies for low-income people.
