The Role of Community Development Corporations in Promoting the Well-Being of Young Children

Prepared by the National Center for Children in Poverty (NCCP), "The Role of Community Development Corporations in Promoting the Well-Being of Young Children" is an extremely well designed and documented record of the impact of poverty on the lives of young Americans. With more than 12 million children living below the poverty line, many young Americans are in need of all the help they can get, especially in an era of thinning public and private resources. With a close eye on those they are committed to helping, the NCCP offers the benefits of a broad based understanding of child poverty and its often life-altering effects. Neither negative nor critical, the NCCP report is there to help, particularly in the work of community development corporations (CDCs) interested in improving the well being of children and young adults. Serving as a resource base for CDCs, the NCCP wants to facilitate and extend their work by making relevant data more readily available. Thus the report is loaded with local, state and federal information regarding child poverty, facts that can be put to good use in furthering the work of socially responsible organizations and institutions. Not just a repository of valuable statistical content, however, the report and its site also serve as a vast network of links to others interested in improving the lives and futures of nearly one sixth of the
nation's children.
