When
Please join us for the Tucson Poverty Project’s 10th Annual Community Forum, where University of Arizona students,
faculty, and community partners will share findings from our ongoing survey of low-income households across Pima County.
When: Wednesday, December 16th, 9-11am Where: Habitat for Humanity Tucson, 3501 N. Mountain Avenue
Drawing on a decade of community-engaged research, we will highlight the challenges local households face in meeting basic needs, accessing essential services, and building economic security. Our goal is to bring research and lived experience together to help inform local policy decisions and strengthen community responses to poverty.
This year’s forum will also examine how recent and anticipated changes to the social safety net, including potential cuts to public assistance programs and changes in eligibility and access, may affect low-income households in our region. By bringing together community members, nonprofit organizations, service providers, researchers, and policymakers, we hope to foster a shared understanding of these challenges, identify emerging needs, and discuss evidence-based strategies to support individuals and families throughout Southern Arizona.
