Poverty remains a persistent issue plaguing cities and communities nationwide. But targeted investments in solutions like education, housing and jobs can help lift families out of poverty’s grasp.
Extensive research shows that financing social programs generates prosperity over time. Key investments create cascading returns, disrupting intergenerational poverty cycles.
Studies have found funding early childhood education, healthcare access, job training and other support systems leads to improved economic mobility and well-being. Household income and stability rise while juvenile delinquency and substance abuse decline.
