Public Affairs Conference - Poverty is not a state of mind

Panel Session

Poverty is many things, but a “state of mind” is not one of them. The lack of resources — from support systems to healthcare to faith to housing to education and finally, money — all cause and keep people in poverty. Most decision makers who work to influence the issues of poverty bring a middle-class perspective to the table, but how well does that work? What are possible 21st century solutions that can address the multitude of obstacles and disparities, as well as prejudices, that plague almost 40 percent of our citizens today? 

Public Affairs Conference held Sept. 25-27, 2018.
