One out of three working families in the District earns less than 200 percent of poverty.  To address this issue, DC Appleseed joined the national Working Poor Families Project as a DC partner.   Through this effort, DC Appleseed works to improve economic opportunities for low-income families by focusing on policies in three areas:  adult education and training, economic development, and working conditions in low-wage jobs.  The Working Poor Families Project is supported by the Casey, Ford, Joyce, and Kresge foundations.  For more information about the Working Poor Families project, visit www.workingpoorfamilies.org.
