Spotlight on Poverty

A terrific new website that focuses on poverty is up and running. Spotlight on Poverty raises our knowledge about the issue and presents opportunities for dialogue that can lead to solutions. Perhaps the most interesting part of the site is the response by the Presidential candidates to the issue. Take time to peruse this site--it is well worth the time. See also the Northwest Area Foundation's national poll on the issue for ways communities can be a part of the solution.

There are a number of organizations who are beginning to create poverty maps, illustrating the locations in a city where poverty is more concentrated and where more programs to help kids move through education to careers are needed. Here's a link to the T/MC site where we have a list of poverty mapping resources.

If we can begin to draw elected and business and faith leaders into discussions that focus on a distribution of resources, and more effective learning and mentoring programs, in more of the poverty areas of a city, we can begin to do more to end poverty for youth in these areas.

If readers know of other organizations using Geographic Information Systems in a strategy to mobilize and distribute resources into poverty regions of cities or rural areas, please submit your link for addition to the T/MC web library.
