Cut Poverty
Community Roadmap to Cut Poverty
United Way convened a series of community conversations, bringing together more than 600 corporate, government, and nonprofit leaders as well as people living in poverty. We have developed a draft community roadmap plan tackling poverty which outlines strategies, roles and responsibilities for the diverse stakeholders in our community. Only by working together can we build a movement to cut Bay Area poverty in half by 2020.
