There is no one definition of poverty. It can encompass many forms and situations. Housing instability is one of the strongest indicators of whether an individual or family is in poverty or on the edge of it. According to Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, nearly 38 million American households — about 31.5% of all households — spend more than 30% of their incomes on housing, forcing them to choose between food, transportation and healthcare. #MinnCAP #CommunityAction #BeCommunityAction #Advocacy #AdvocacyWorks #FightingPoverty #Nonprofit #PovertyAwarenessMonth #HepingPeople #ChangingLives

We must stand united against this insidious practice, recognizing that poverty should never be a breeding ground for exploitation. By fostering awareness, advocating for fair labor practices, and supporting initiatives that empower marginalized communities, we can combat modern slavery together. Let us strive for a world where every individual, regardless of their socio-economic status, is treated with dignity and afforded the basic human rights they deserve.

The 5 Most Popular Kairos Resources of 2023 #5 Policy Briefing: Homeless, Not Helpless Housing (in)security is a policy choice. Although the solutions to poverty and housing insecurity are present, enacting these kinds of policies requires a steadfast commitment to ending the unnecessary injustice of poverty in the midst of plenty. It cannot be driven by charity, philanthropy or guilt, but a sense of duty, responsibility and accountability to the poor. In other words, it requires a profound solidarity with poor and dispossessed people to see our common humanity and to know that their insecurity reflects weaknesses and failures of our society that may very well impact my life – if not today, then tomorrow.
