This new toolkit from a project sponsored by Strategies to Eliminate Poverty, a grantmaking initiative of The Seattle focuses on the Northwest-area states—Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, and Washington—to help state government implement a comprehensive approach to addressing poverty, a goal made more difficult by the patchwork nature of federal assistance programs. Strategies include implementing modern poverty measures based on living standards and making sure an increase in earnings leads to an increase in economic security.
