The challenge OBA Questions What are the quality of life conditions we want for the children, adults and families who live in our community? What would these conditions look like if we could see them? How can we measure these conditions? How are we doing on the most important of these measures? Who are the partners that have a role to play in doing better? What works to do better, including no-cost and low-cost ideas? What do we propose to do?
