It's not just a personal problem.

"Poverty impacts more than the individuals who struggle to manage in their day-to-day lives.

While it is common to think of poverty through the lens of individual effort or failure, the economic downturn serves as a reminder that poverty is tied into our social structure. It’s not just a personal problem."
