To support and justify its presence, the Office of Financial Management asked BUILD to compile and present an annual report charting accomplishments over the previous year. Our report introduces our subcommittees, summarizes our activities from 2019 and 2020, and provides a look ahead at goals for the coming year.
BUILD is proud to present its first annual report Governor Inslee’s Poverty Reduction Work Group (PRWG) was created via Directive in November 2017. PRWG is co-led by the state departments of Commerce, Employment Security, and Social & Health Services, in partnership with tribal and urban Indians, state racial and ethnic commissions, employers, community-based organizations, legislators, advocates, and philanthropy. A steering committee made up of 22 people reflecting the demographic and geographic experience of poverty provides critical oversight to PRWG and contributed substantially to the development and prioritization of recommendations. The groups have met monthly since their inception. Full documentation of all PRWG meetings can be found on Governor Inslee’s PRWG issues page.
