Our latest research: Families’ challenges and resilience
The Cambridge Community Foundation’s new data brief reveals startling facts on the pressures low-income families face in a city whose cost of living is 73 percent higher than the national average. Our nine-page brief provides statistics on the makeup, income levels, educational attainment, race and ethnicity, and more of the families that are eligible for Rise Up Cambridge, a $22-million City of Cambridge program that supports families with children making up to 250 percent of the federal poverty line.
These resilient families constitute a significant and often unseen population in Cambridge. Read the data brief to learn more. Portraits by Kristen Joy Emack.
