March 2018 The Community Conversations Report was developed to help our community lean in, to hear, to learn and to understand the causes, implications and realities of poverty and to better understand the need for a collective approach to poverty elimination. Included in the report are reflections on the experiences of poverty, the realities of living with low-income and recommendations for moving forward, all driven by people with lived experience of poverty and those who work with people living in poverty.
