| A Community Response to Poverty addresses the issue of poverty from a comprehensive community approach.
Of the nine characteristics of “communities at risk,” as defined by Philip DeVol, co-author of Bridges Out of Poverty (see list to right), how many do you believe apply to Evansville and Vanderburgh Co.? none? two? five? all nine?
In 2002, the poverty rate of Vanderburgh County children under the age of 18 was 14.2%. Between 1990 and 2004 the poverty rate for Vanderburgh County increased 4.9% (STATS Indiana Business Resource Center).
This project is designed to increase the sustainability of our community while the resources still exist to address poverty in a comprehensive, community-based approach. |
