A new report from the Rochester Area Community Foundation outlines the impact of poverty on Rochester. The details are troubling:
- Rochester’s poverty rate continues to rise;
- The childhood poverty rate ranks highest among comparable cities and is now the only city where more than half of the children live in poverty; and
- Rochester now has the highest rate of extreme poverty.
We dive deeper into this report with Ann Johnson from ACT Rochester, and the report's author, Ed Doherty.
