The mission of The Providence Plan is to restore hope and create new opportunity for the people of Providence through a comprehensive initiative designed to address the fundamental causes of poverty and urban decline.

The Providence Plan was founded to achieve six principal goals:

• Put people to work
• Retain the city's middle class
• Make our neighborhoods safe and livable
• Prepare today’s children for tomorrow’s jobs
• Provide decent and affordable housing
• Increase jobs and taxes in downtown Providence

The Providence Plan seeks to achieve these goals and others by building partnerships among city, state, and federal agencies; business, labor, civic, and religious groups; community-based organizations; academic institutions; and concerned residents.
