Facts and Figures on Poverty and America's Working Poor

The poverty rate io 2001 was 11.7 percent, up from 11.3 percent in 2000.

In 2001, there were 6.8 million poor families, up from 6.4 million poor families in 2000.

36% of persons li~ing ln poverty are children-the 2001 poverty rate of 16.3% for children is is over 1.5 times ... as high as the poverty rate for any other age group.

Two trends appear in the rise in homelessness in the past 15·20 years: a growing shortage of affordable ,· rental housing and a simultaneous increase in poverty.

Two prime factors account for the increase in poverty: eroding employment opportunities for large seg· ments of the workforce and declining value and availability of public assistance.

Things are heating up again! The Center for Social Concerns is gearing up for another successful run of Project Warmth. Last year, over 2000 coats were received and distributed to sites all across the country, including the Appalachia region, Indian reserva­ tions in the Dakotas, and outreach facilities around the South Bend area.
