Excerpt:

New Haven is a diverse city with deep and enduring economic and social disparities. Approximately 25% of residents live in poverty, compared to 10% statewide. An additional 40% struggle to afford basic necessities like housing and food. While intricately tied, poverty is just one of several issues that drives hunger. Unemployment, low-wage jobs, transportation, and family resources also make it difficult for people to access the food they need to thrive.

New Haven Independent Jan. 30, 2019 Comments

[Excerpt from New Haven Independent, 1/30/19 article by Markeshia Ricks]

"New Haven is getting an early start on ensuring the city counts every resident in the upcoming decennial census — which won’t be an easy feat.

The quest began Tuesday afternoon and evening as about 50 people gathered in the Hall of Records to learn about the importance of getting people to participate in the 2020 census. They also learned about the many challenges to preventing an undercount and started brainstorming solutions to those barriers.
