We partner with communities & policymakers to find new ways to prevent & alleviate poverty through action-based research
关于我们
Poverty Solutions is a university-wide presidential initiative at the University of Michigan that partners with communities and policymakers to find new ways to prevent and alleviate poverty through action-based research. In confronting the challenges of poverty, we know scholars don’t have all the answers. Yet we have an important role to play. We can bring data, evidence, and analysis to identify critical issues and evidence-based solutions. Working in partnership, we can inform concrete action that empowers families to live healthy and productive lives. We view poverty as the result of interlinked systems — housing, education, criminal justice, labor markets — that fail to function as they should for people with low incomes. Such a systems approach puts the emphasis on structural, rather than individual, causes of poverty. We recognize that many of these systems failures are the result of long-term racial and socioeconomic inequalities. Addressing poverty means confronting these disparities and seeking out just, equitable solutions.

Built on the evidence and success of the expanded child tax credit during the pandemic, Rx Kids was developed as a way to continue supporting moms and babies by giving them no-strings-attached cash prescriptions. Listen to Luke Shaefer and Dr. Mona discuss how the child tax credit greatly reduced child poverty during the pandemic, and how programs like Rx Kids are continuing the work of coming alongside families and supporting them: https://lnkd.in/gqnjrtpf #ChildTaxCredit #RxKids The Lancet Group MSU Master of Public Health University of Michigan - Gerald R.
