The first publication in this series describes the Casey Foundation’s efforts to develop a new approach to connecting the dots between people living in low income neighborhoods and jobs that provide health benefits and career advancement. The "neighborhood pipeline" joins residents, schools, community organizations, employers, workforce agencies, and elected officials to connect families to jobs. Stories from Seattle/White Center, San Antonio, and Louisville show how pipelines work.
