Strengthening Supports for Young Parents and Their Children, Part III: The Scan of Innovations in Rural Areas and Suburban Pockets of Poverty

This paper from the Center for the Study of Social Policy (CSSP) calls attention to young parents and their children who live in poverty and geographical isolation – far from the service system infrastructure and safety nets developed to support families in need. The paper describes a scan of programs in Native American communities, rural areas, and suburban areas of concentrated poverty and highlights innovative strategies that serve the unique needs of young children and their families through a multigenerational approach.
