Building Blocks and Strategies for Helping Americans Move Out of Poverty

This working paper from the U.S. Partnership on Mobility from Poverty explores a variety of approaches to help move families out of poverty. One of the building blocks explored is community building and social capital (beginning on page 36). Relevant research is presented describing the importance and impact of social capital, and an overview of example programs is given. Additionally, the documented impact and funding for each example program is listed.
