Discussions on poverty and social stratification in America. Tuesday, May 30, 2006. Myths and Realities (III). Americans don’t like to talk about poverty. We don’t like to believe that the wealthiest nation in the world has families without the resources to afford basic necessities, such as decent housing and sufficient food, or basic services, such as medical and dental care and quality child care. But American poverty is a reality.". National Center for Children in Poverty (NCCP). 1) post comments - so...

Community Action House: September 2008
http://communityactionhouse.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Article re: Capitol Striving to Define Homelessness. I recently read a New York Times article discussing the possibility of the Capitol redefining our nation’s current definition of homelessness. As of right now (and the past 20 years) it stands as “people living in the streets or in shelters.”. The House and Senate want to include in the definition people who are “doubled up with friends or relatives or living day to day in motels, with money and options running out.”. The Education Department’s d...

Serenity: December 2005

Thursday, December 22, 2005. Nina and the train. I met someone this afternoon, waiting for the train. I don't normally converse much with strangers like that, but these were unusual circumstances what with the transit strike. We started talking to find out whether the train was a bronx shuttle, or one that went further north. She'd gone into one violent relationship after another, I'd seen that in my mom and steered clear of any men actually in my home. It was pretty amazing, really. Especially for s...

Community Action House: Housing is Fundamental
http://communityactionhouse.blogspot.com/2008/03/housing-is-fundamental.html
Here are a few thoughts on the very fundamental role housing plays in each of our lives - the first from an academic, the remainder from a formerly chronically homeless individual who has been a good friend and volunteer at Community Action House for the past year and a half. Rachel Brat, Dept. of Urban and Environmental Policy, Tufts University. When I have stable housing, my mind is relaxed once again. Now all I've got to do is work and keep what I've got, and hope that others get lucky too.". When in ...

Tuesday, July 19, 2005. Have you ever been sitting in the movie theatre, paid $10, have your popcorn and soda in hand, another $10, and then the Jimmy Fund (for cancer research) commercial rolls, and the staff walk around the theatre with their plastic donation containers, and you pretend not to see? Cause you’ve already spent $20, and you’re not willing to fork out another one? So she has to eliminate things one item at a time from her cart, till she hits the magic number and the EBT card goes through?
