Building Bridges Together

June 2020 to June 2023

Purpose:

To discover the community-specific barriers to tax filing and the reasons for non-tax filing among people experiencing low income in the Durham Region;
To use a co-production approach to learn together with people living on low income about our needs related to financial literacy and what financial empowerment strategies actually work;
To co-create strategies related to Prosper Canada’s framework of five interventions to improve financial empowerment;
To provide evidence to support those co-produced strategies to be leveraged by other regions across Canada.
