How an organization is assisting Georgia after child poverty doubles nationwide

U.S. Census data shows the national child poverty rate hit a record low in 2021, then it more than doubled last year. The progress that had been made in narrowing the poverty rates between children of color and white children was largely reversed.

The Georgia Family Connection Partnership is focused on issues like this.

According to their website, the GFCP is the only statewide network in the country dedicated to the health and economic well-being of families and communities.
