Through a grant with Nebraska Department of Economic Development, CIN is focusing on a specific geographic area of Hastings to combine a poverty alleviation initiative (Bridging Forward) with talent acquisition, retention and development for businesses in the area and for people who live or work in the Qualified Census Tract (QCT). The goal of the initiative is to support 80 individuals to achieve 200% of the Federal Poverty Line by the end of 2026 and to support 30 individuals to overcome Benefit Cliff barriers to employment or advancement
