We believe that those closest to the challenge are those closest to the solution. The problem is, they're hardly ever at the table. The ENOUGH act will fight poverty by employing place-based strategies made with communities and not just for them.

Over 36% of families and households in Iowa don't make enough money to afford their basic needs. We need innovative, compassionate solutions to combat the issue and allow more Iowans to participate more fully in their communities. Read about UpLift- The Central Iowa Basic Income Pilot's work to eliminate poverty in Iowa, and how CultureALL is supporting their mission. https://lnkd.in/ga2i6gDp

An ice breaker question at a recent staff meeting asked us to "describe what we do for work to a 5 year-old." My answer was that I help smart people* tell important stories that change the way we see the world. These stories may be about human rights, transportation access or gun violence prevention –but they always boil down to inequality. Today's New York Times story on Robin Hood's annual Poverty Tracker report shines a major spotlight on the millions of New Yorkers who are struggling to overcome poverty and hardship. The findings are startling: Between 2021 and 2022, the number of people living in poverty jumped from 1.5 to 2 million, including 25% of all children. Effectively, more than half of all New York City residents live in poverty or near poverty. I'm grateful to see this story told in one of the most influential and far-reaching outlets and for the loud and clear message to lawmakers: POLICY FIGHTS POVERTY. Hoping this story and others like it – combined with strong data, advocacy and human voice – create the political will to address this preventable crisis. *Richard Buery, Sarah Oltmans, Jason Cone, Chloe Sarnoff, Christopher Wimer, Sophie Collyer, Robert Cordero, Kevin Frederick Thompson https://lnkd.in/e4-VtaMz

Recently, our Family Services team traveled to Boston for the EMPath Disrupting Poverty conference. This annual conference brings together practitioners, professionals, policy makers, philanthropists, and academics from around the world for engagement, education, and new strategies for disrupting poverty. Warren Village is a part of EMPath’s global Economic Mobility Exchange, a membership network for practitioners and professionals working to promote economic mobility in their own communities. Warren Village’s Family Services programs across all locations utilize EMPath’s Mobility Mentoring Program and their Bridge to Self-Sufficiency as a framework to guide the case management and coaching work we do. At last month's conference, Family Services staff and other Exchange members learned about ongoing research that is being conducted in the field related to EMPath’s model, best practices for the work, how other organizations are implementing the model across the country, and upcoming innovations coming down the pike to make the tools even better. Then, along with over 500 people from across the country and the world, they heard from leading voices, such as Ibram X. Kendi and Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, about what works in disrupting poverty. They learned about how others across the country are promoting economic mobility in early childhood, in affordable housing settings, and through guaranteed income projects as well as work on eliminating the racial wealth gap. The Warren Village team was especially moved by the panel on “Intersectional Professionals” – a term used to identify folks who come to the work with an intersection of educational, work, and lived experience with poverty. The team left inspired and re-energized! #DisruptPoverty #WarrenVillage #DenverNonprofit #HousingForAll #TraumaInformedCare #HolisticHealth

“What About the Children?”: College Students Simulating a Child’s Role During the Community Action Poverty Simulation AFCPE® (Association for Financial Counseling and Planning Education®) Roughly 11% of individuals live in poverty in the USA. AFCPE®️ professionals may work with low-income individuals. Poverty simulations are effective tools for helping individuals understand the lived realities of poverty. During the Community Action Poverty Simulation (CAPS), participants can simulate someone living in poverty. This study analyzed college students’ reflection papers of those who completed a CAPS simulation. The students reported developing more compassion towards those living in poverty and cited specific anti-poverty actions they planned to take due to the experience. This study demonstrated the importance of AFCPE®️ professionals becoming more empathetic to those living in poverty.

Rx Kids is co-directed by social scientist and child poverty research expert Luke Shaefer. Research shows that poverty spikes for a family during the first year of an infant's life. He hopes the program will help alleviate that: “There’s a couple reasons why we think cash can be a more effective and an efficient way to help families… families’ lives are complicated. Sometimes families have housing, and they don’t have food. And other times they have access to food but no housing. Sometimes they have transportation, and sometimes they don’t… and so we just don’t know, like families know what they need best. And so… we’re going to trust families that they know best and we’re going to provide cash and then families can use it for exactly what they need.” Listen to more about Rx Kids in this Created Equal podcast episode (WDET): https://lnkd.in/gtruHKcS University of Michigan University of Michigan - Gerald R.

President, The Floating Hospital | Serving families experiencing homelessness | Nonprofit leader | Lawyer
As President of The Floating Hospital, I'm deeply concerned about the findings presented in the Annual Poverty Tracker Report. The fact that 1 in 4 children in New York City lives in poverty is alarming and highlights the urgent need for action. At The Floating Hospital, we see firsthand the impact that poverty has on families, particularly when it comes to accessing healthcare and basic necessities. We remain committed to providing comprehensive medical care and support services to women and families experiencing homelessness. One thing is clear: systemic change is needed to address the root causes of poverty in our city. We urge policymakers and community leaders to prioritize initiatives that support low-income families and create pathways to economic stability. Together, we can work towards a future where every child in New York City has the opportunity to thrive.
