* From [[Shared Space Chapter 2 - Organizing for complexity]]: Employment has improved since the [[Date::1990s]], but social programs, in decline since the [[Date::mid-1970s]], do not address problems brought on by ongoing unemployment and poverty, as well as new problems, such as lack of benefits or adequate pay for more "flexible" work forces (part time, contract, self employed, minimum wage), and working mothers. This lack of support lead to continued cycles of poverty and lost economic opportunities.
* From [[MW150102 - Editorial - The End of the Beginning.pdf]]: [[Date::March 23, 2004]] [[federal budget]], [[Money::$100 million]] of [[credit]] and [[patient capital]] for [[Date::5 years]] and [[access]] to existing [[business finance]] [[programs]]; [[Money::$17 million]] over [[Date::2 years]] for [[community capacity-building]] pilots; [[Money::$15 million]] over [[Date::5 years]] for [[community-university research funding]] through [[SSHRC | !Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council]]; expanded mandate for [[Community Futures Development Corporations]].
* From [[Shared Space - Chapter 4 - Supporting Sustenance]]: Government can intervene by investing in the supply of amenities, supporting entities such as developers willing to build affordable housing, and providing land or land trusts to muncipalities and nonprofit corporations. Rehabilitation of land, policies, incentives and tax credits can also be used, as well as focusing on setting good wage conditions, government benefit programs, and lower the cost of basics such as utilities and transportation for affected groups.
* From [[Shared Space Chapter 2 - Organizing for complexity]]: Understanding complexity is another challenge, "[[wicked problems]]". For example, poverty concentration factors include teenage pregnancy, single-parent families, lack of education and poor literacy, higher levels of chronic and mental illness, housing instability, substance abuse, crime, and disproportionate reliance on government income programs.
* From [[MW150132 - New Synergies.pdf]]: [[VanCity]], loaning [[money]] "east of Main street"; loans, low limit credit cards, payment plans, [[financial literacy]] programs, [[microfinance]], [[resettlement]]. [[Negotiated | Negotiate]] with government to permit account holders to save money while on [[welfare]].
* From [[Concepts]]: * [[Emploi-Québec]] - workforce development programs
