7ds agoThree out of five children in Westchester County are either in poverty or low income, according to the Westchester Children's Association.
Five area nonprofits - Feeding Westchester, Westhab, The Sharing Shelf, United Way of Westchester and Putnam and 914Cares - have partnered with the Westchester Children's Association to release the Poverty Pulse study.
"The idea for the Poverty Pulse is to have real-time, front-line information that tells us about the insecurities that our families in the county are facing," said Westchester Children's Association executive director Allison Lake.
The main focuses are food, housing and clothing insecurities with children.
"It's community driven data, and so we're getting data that is close to the ground. It's fresh from the source," said WCA director of Data, Operations and Finance, Limarie Cabrera.
The goal of the study aims to reduce child poverty by 50% by 2032.
