How Non-Profits & Private Charities More Effectively Lift People Out of Poverty

There are many well-intentioned government anti-poverty programs in California, but private charities and non-profits have proven to be just as effective – if not more so – in getting people back on their feet. Policy experts and leaders on the front lines share their experiences and discuss how out-of-the-box thinking can help alleviate poverty and reduce homelessness. Speakers include Kerry Jackson, Fellow, PRI’s Center for California Reform; Michele Steeb, Saint John’s Program for Real Change; Deacon Jim Vargas, Father Joe’s Villages; and Damon Dunn, PRI Fellow in Business and Economics.
