Did you also know that more than 40 million people in the U.S. live in poverty and more than half of these individuals are experiencing extreme poverty?
I had an eye-opening experience helping Urban Strategies, Inc. show the impact they are having on distressed communities across the U.S. From Galveston to Columbus, I helped tell the stories of Urban Strategies programs, partners, and people who seek to help individuals find pathways to self-sufficiency and success.
