Mission
Work with partners to eliminate persistent poverty by building vibrant, healthy communities.
What We Do
Urban Strategies Council has 26 years of experience addressing both the causes and consequences of poverty, and working across systems on the interlocking issues that must move in order to eliminate poverty, including education, income and asset development, community safety and justice, and building community capacity. Our approach always has been to work at both the levels of people and place to transform low-income neighborhoods into vibrant, healthy communities.
