Prosper Placer serves families who live at or below the poverty level and are motivated to make lasting changes in their lives. The needs of this population are related to how social services are provided: when a family is truly in dire need, they receive services through various agencies and organizations. But as families begin to rebuild their lives, the support services start to disappear. Without some form of community support, many of these families begin to slip back into poverty and once again find themselves dependent on government assistance, and the cycle repeats itself.
