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.

Fathers & Families Coalition of America is committed to the elimination of poverty world-wide. We share a fantastic new partnership led by The Urban Instite to make a difference in the lives of all Americans, not just those in poverty

A partnership  made up of a group of 24 leading experts, advocates and academics from across the country. Harvard Professor David Ellwood, former Dean of the Kennedy School of Government and noted poverty expert, is Chair. Over the next two years, these remarkable minds will work to determine what it would take to increase dramatically upward mobility for those in poverty.
