The United States operates a poverty management system—a fragmented network of aid and services where no one is responsible for actually lifting people out of poverty. But what if we could replace this outdated model with a poverty alleviation system that helps people achieve lasting economic mobility?

To break the cycle of poverty once and for all, we need systems-level change, not just isolated programs.
