The nationwide Community Action Network has suggested 5 themes and strategies that local communities can use to alleviate poverty. Essentially, they advised:
- Get everyone involved.
- Build an economy that works for everyone.
- Put money into healthcare and education.
- Maximize opportunities for people.
- Eliminate false stereotypes such as the myth that poor people are lazy.
Generally, I agree with those 5 points. Of course, we have to figure out how to get local communities to implement such strategies.
