The New York State Community Action Association (NYSCAA) is pleased to present the 2008 New York State Poverty Report, which provides both county-level statistical information and estimates of the local impact of Community Action Agencies. This report is designed to be a resource for New York’s Community Action Agencies, community-based organizations, policy makers, advocates, community coalitions, and members of the general public who are working to address poverty in New York State. This report does not offer recommendations, nor is it designed to do so. Instead, it is meant to be an informational resource that agencies and other can use. We hope it adds value to the larger discussion on how to address poverty in our communities. In addition, as this report is a first for NYSCAA, we welcome your insight to help build and improve upon this edition. We encourage you to share your recommendations as to what data to include in 2009 and how best the data can be presented to meet your needs.
*If you received a hard copy of the 2008 Poverty Report please read this clarification memorandum regarding the education and poverty statistics.
