Connections: Understanding The New Poverty Report

A brand new report on poverty is out, and it shows almost no improvement in our region. To be fair, the Rochester-Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative is a 15-year plan. No one said things would flip in a year or two. But what can we learn from the newest numbers? Our guests will sort it out. In studio:

  • Ann Johnson, ACT Rochester senior director
  • Ed Doherty, author of the original poverty report
  • Henry Fitts, City of Rochester Innovation Team
