Defeat Poverty DC is leading a ten-year campaign to cut poverty in half in the District of Columbia. Our campaign promotes policies to Make Work Possible, Make Work Pay, and Make Basic Needs Accessible for all District residents.
In the District, as well as nationally, people living in poverty tend to be clustered in certain neighborhoods rather than being evenly distributed across society. However, there is no part of the city where poverty does not exist.
