About The Project
Partnering with the DC Fiscal Policy Institute, DC Appleseed has undertaken a project designed to assess and strengthen D.C. policies that affect the working poor. The Working Poor Families Project will conduct a thorough assessment of policies related to education and training of adults, labor market conditions for entry-level, low-skill jobs, and work supports, and create an advocacy agenda to enhance the economic security of low-income working families. The effort is part of a national project supported by the Casey, Mott, Joyce and Ford foundations. Pro bono support for our efforts has been provided by Arnold & Porter LLP and Patton Boggs LLP.
