EMPath will support fifty low-income Newton families with intensive one-to-one Economic Mobility Coaching over the course of two years. The priority clients for this program are low-income Newton families who are at or below 50% of the area median income (AMI), have children under 18 years old (or are pregnant), and who are interested in working and increasing their income. We will purposefully seek to serve families or individuals most impacted by the pandemic with an emphasis on people of color who were disproportionately harmed as well as those who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness, living in subsidized housing, or who are otherwise struggling.
