Please join the <A HREF="http://www.mobilitypartnership.org/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">US Partnership on Mobility from Poverty</A> as we share findings and recommendations, lift up community voices, and discuss how we move ideas to action to dramatically increase mobility from poverty.
Funded by the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation and staffed and supported by the Urban Institute, the Partnership was tasked with answering one big, bold question: What Would It Take to Dramatically Increase Mobility from Poverty? Now, at the end of two years of learning with diverse communities around the country, the Partnership is putting forward powerful, actionable ideas.
