The Tackling Poverty Series brings businesses, advocates, artists, citizens, organizations and elected officials together to build connections and conversations around reducing poverty within urban communities in New York City and across the country. The series features leading voices to discuss best practices in improving education outcomes, access to housing and shelter, and other targeted strategies.
City Limits will launch the Bronx Bureau (formerly the Bronx News Network) with our third Tackling Poverty conversation and a networking reception.
In a borough of New York City with the highest rate of homeless shelters and residents, we will discuss the future of the modern homeless shelter, and the potential that exists for making them an asset to low-income communities.

Galleries at the Bronx Museum of the Arts will be open for guests during the reception.
In a borough of New York City that has been especially hard-hit by foreclosures, we'll look at the impact that limited affordable housing has had, the resulting “notch down” of the middle-class and working poor, and what this means for all New Yorkers.
