We asked the speakers from our 2024 Real-World Perspectives on Poverty Solutions Speaker Series, “what does poverty mean to you?”
We work closely with the City of Detroit, neighborhood groups, service providers, and foundations in Detroit to improve economic opportunity and reduce poverty.
We work with community organizations and individuals in co-creating and seeking new solutions to prevent and alleviate poverty.
Our working papers and policy briefs include research from different academic disciplines.
Our projects focus on data, evidence, and equitable partnerships to bring about positive change.
