UNDERSTANDING POVERTY
Since 2012, the East Texas Human Needs Network has been building relationships among individuals in civic, private, and public entities. People in all three sectors have been sitting at the same table. We've done research, worked together and are making progress toward agreed upon goals based on data-driven community needs.
After much study we selected the Bridges Out of Poverty constructs to enhance our collective action work. The Bridges Out of Poverty framework is designed to bring people of all economic classes, races, sectors, and political persuasions to the table to address causes of poverty and create a sustainable community. |
