This requires that we assist communities and institutions to be more responsive and attentive to the needs and interests of disadvantaged residents. By investing in the human resources of our communities, creating economic and social opportunities through organizing, advocating, coordinating, participating, and service, responsible and cooperative communities of caring which recognize the human dignity of the individual so that every member of the community has the same opportunity for self sufficiency will result.
