Dear Colleague:
In 2014, the New York State Community Action Association (NYSCAA) embarked on From
Poverty to Opportunity: New York State Community Action Poverty Tour 2014. This statewide
project was designed to highlight the work of Community Action, celebrate our customers’
successes, and remind New Yorkers that there is continuing need in every community. During
the Tour we heard the voices of poverty, personal stories that illustrate what the numbers tell
us: there is an unacceptably high poverty rate for children living in New York’s cities, there is a
gender wage gap across the state, African Americans and people of Hispanic/Latino background
experience poverty at higher rates than people identifying as White and there is not a county in
the state that doesn’t have people living in poverty.
The Tour affirmed the importance of personal stories as we move our communities and public
officials to action. At the same time we recognize the need for accurate, accessible data to inform our planning and measure the results. The numbers and the stories are both vital to the
anti-poverty work done by the New York State Community Action Network and our partners
across the state.
We are pleased to release this eighth annual New York State Poverty Report. We hope it is a
useful tool for you and your community. The Report is designed to be a comprehensive
resource for New York’s Community Action Agencies, community based organizations, policy
makers, advocates, community coalitions and the general public. While the report does not
recommend specific policy or system changes, it does provide data to inform dialogue about
how to address issues of poverty and income inequality. A key to the data is found on page
110.
You will find the report digitally on the NYSCAA website (http://nyscommunityaction.org/poverty-innew-york/povertydata/ ). You can download the entire report or specific county profiles. We welcome your feedback about the report and can be reached directly from our home page
(www.nyscommunityaction.org) or by phone at us at 518-690-0491.
Sincerely,
Karla Digirolamo, CEO
