The coalition has four specific areas of focus with the goal of strengthening communities throughout the nation via health and community-involvement initiatives:[3]
- The Education Pipeline/Urban Educator Corps - to improve the quality and quantity of urban teachers and implement evidence-based “cradle-to-career” education partnerships.
- The Urban Health Initiative - to increase the number, diversity, and competence of the health workforce and reduce health disparities in urban communities.
- The Strengthening Communities Initiative - to revitalize neighborhoods, build community capacity, and strengthen regional economies.
