NACHSA is pleased to offer scholarships to a fall conference convened by the County Welfare Directors Association of California. Following up on the insightful 2009 and 2010 Symposiums on Poverty, the event will focus on practices that build upon policy discussions on the best ways to address poverty. The impacts and effects of poverty are now well-known and well-documented. The Great Recession and record unemployment rates in recent years have given new attention to the struggles of children, families and seniors plunged into poverty.  The challenge is this: what are we going to do – as a state and as a nation – to cut and eventually eliminate poverty?
