Immigrant Family Economic Success in Rural Communities

A Webinar Series

Recent data show that 31% of new residents living in rural communities are immigrants and refugees. Understanding these newcomers is critical to addressing poverty in rural America.

From August 18 to September 1 of 2016, the Aspen Institute Community Strategies Group convened three webinars to help rural practitioners learn more about the growing population of rural immigrants and strategies they can use to help their immigrant neighbors earn more, keep more of what they earn and grow what they keep into assets.

Aspen's Rural Family Economic Success Action Network

Earn It, Keep It, Grow It

The Rural Family Economic Success (RuFES) approach to helping low-income rural families get ahead is organized around three basic outcomes that low-income families seek:

Earn it: Working families earn a living that allows them to survive, thrive and raise their children in their community.

Keep it: Working families have access to and make good choices that safeguard their family income and lower their cost of living, forging stable and predictable financial lives.

Grow it: Working families accumulate and maintain assets that gain value and advance family and community prosperity over time.
