Over 11% of Americans live in poverty and it’s a reality for many people with disability supported by human service organizations. Poverty is a wound that is often exacted upon people, that they are even thrust into, against their will and as a result of being devalued. While it is often viewed as a stand-alone problem, it is in fact a complex issue that affects people’s physical and mental well-being, their relationships and social isolation, cognitive development in children, the risk of homelessness and violence, and much more.
