DEEP DIVE: CHILD POVERTY AND THE PATH FORWARD
On Monday, February 13, 2023, Robin Hood gathered to consider the state of child poverty in New York City and how we can collectively chart a path forward. This event was part of Robin Hood’s new Deep Dive series, focusing on critical topics where Robin Hood’s community could learn, share, and collaborate to fight poverty and support upward mobility in New York City.
REIMAGINING OUR CHILD CARE SYSTEM
Every child deserves the opportunity for a strong start in life. Child care is the foundation upon which our youngest New Yorkers receive their earliest education and lays the groundwork for early development, academic achievement, economic productivity, and a lifetime of better health. But the COVID-19 pandemic forced hundreds of child care programs to close, deepening child care deserts throughout the city and hindering NYC’s recovery.
