Portraits of Poverty: Ways Poverty Affects Different Populations (D&I)

Young Hall (113)

Poverty does not affect people uniformly. Children and the elderly experience poverty in very different ways, for instance. Therefore, alleviating the impact of poverty for different groups of people often requires customized strategies and tactics. Rev. Mark Howell will discuss the various ways his organization works to lessen the burden of poverty. Rev. Howell will also talk about how the community ministry collaborative model that exists in Louisville greatly enhances the effectiveness of his organization and others to address poverty. Rev. Howell has served as Executive Director of United Crescent Hill Ministries for nearly a decade and has worked in social services agencies offering assistance to the impoverished for over two decades. Howell holds a Master of Divinity degree from Princeton Theological Seminary and a Master of Social Work from Hunter College at City University of New York.

Open to the public.
