Food scarcity is a big problem for 1000s of residents in New York. Interested in learning how to help in your community? @FoodBankSTier partners throughout the Southern Tier to distribute nearly 18 million pounds of food since 2020. Or check out other ways bit.ly/3vHJsC3
We chose an anchored, relative income standard rather than an absolute threshold like the MIT Living Wage calculator and other self-sufficiency standards because we wanted our income standards to be simple to calculate and replicate. #EndPoverty
6/6 Using our National Poverty Plan Income Standards (NPPS), The Shared Humanity Project estimates that more than 75 million Americans fell below that level in 2019. In comparison, the Census Bureau estimates that 38 million Americans were poor that year. bit.ly/3D9SvA6
5/6 Rather than enter the discussion about how to best define minimum needs and self-sufficiency, The Shared Humanity Project wants to be a steward in developing solutions to poverty and coalitions to implement the solutions. #EndPoverty
4/6 We chose an anchored, relative income standard rather than an absolute threshold like the MIT Living Wage calculator and other self-sufficiency standards because we wanted our income standards to be simple to calculate and replicate. #EndPoverty
3/6 We have calculated new relative income standards that are based on 50% of the median income for every county in the country. These locally-based income standards reflect the resources required to live within a community. #EndPoverty
2/6 To provide an official estimate of the # of families & people living in poverty, the USA uses a national threshold, commonly called - poverty line. This threshold inadequately represents the level of income needed to live for a sustained period w/out assistance. #EndPoverty
1/6 The Shared Humanity Project has developed a new approach to measuring and counting the number of people who need assistance. bit.ly/3ZBheXG #EndPoverty
In NYS, under-resourced families are much less likely to obtain additional education beyond HS. For example, 35% of adults in Oswego County have an associate's degree or higher, compared to 83% in Manhattan's Upper West Side. What can we do about this? bit.ly/3mmI07n
It's not enough that we donate to childcare centers in lower-income neighborhoods. We need to ensure that these four practices on donating essential supplies are properly observed as well: bit.ly/3ZFM403 #NationalFosterCareDay2023 #PuttingChildrenFirst #CaringForChildren
In communities with large numbers of families living below the National Poverty Plan Standards, childcare centers do not have the resources they need or want. Show your support for #NationalFosterCareDay by donating essential supplies in lower-income neighborhoods.
You can be a resource to your community by obtaining a certificate in mental health first aid and volunteering directly in under-served communities to offer support and crisis preparedness. Check out @MHFirstAidUSA’s Mental Health First Aid online Cert: bit.ly/431L1KJ
May 1 is the start of Mental Health Awareness Month. Due to limited financial resources & high levels of trauma & stress, mental health issues impact people experiencing poverty in intense and debilitating ways, often inhibiting educational or employment pursuits. #Mindfulness
This week's #StateSpotlight: New York How much do you think it takes to get by in Brooklyn? According to our calculations, it costs about $52,000 for a family of four. This is nearly TWICE as much ($26,500) than the current Federal poverty line. #EndPoverty
How much does it take to get by in your community? Each week, the Shared Humanity Project will focus on a different state to see how much it really costs for a family of four to get by in a particular area. Check back next week to learn more about New York. #StateSpotlight
Last week, we took a big step towards achieving our goal of ending poverty with the Greater Washington Poverty Forum. It's time to take action now! Join us: nationalpovertyplan.org #GreaterWashingtonForum #SharedHumanityProject #EndPoverty
