With 43 million Americans trapped in poverty, today’s U.S. Census Bureau report confirms that we need a new approach to fighting poverty. We care about families that are struggling, which is why we have spent countless hours listening to the vulnerable at Chautauqua Opportunities, the Ithaca Rescue Mission, Head Start and many others. It’s only right that we stand with them and continue our efforts to develop innovative poverty solutions, including the House's Better Way anti-poverty initiatives."
