Poverty & Disparities Impacting Family Life, Children and Healthy Communities

Fathers & Families Coalition of America is committed as one of our priorities to address the elimination of poverty in America and globally. We facilitated a release of two 2015 winter briefs on the Elimination of Poverty. In 2016, we will go to Jamaica to support the overwhelming homes in poverty. Throughout the United States, the growing cascade of the disproportionality of poverty rates has continued. During our National Families & Fathers 17th Annual Conference, February 18, 2016 Fathers & Families Coalition of America brought international experts to address Building Healthy Families and Communities.
