New reports show that the poor in metro Detroit face unique challenges compared to other parts of the U.S., making it more difficult for them to escape poverty. Nearly a quarter of Metro Detroit’s smaller communities saw median household income decline and 20 percent saw the poverty rate grow, according to an analysis of census data by The Detroit News. Furthermore, The Brookings Institute says that Detroit has the highest rate of concentrated poverty among the top 25 metro areas in the U.S. by population.
In light of this tragic reality, Helping Hands provides technology and financial educational training for economically disadvantaged youth’s, Veterans, domestic violence survivors and underprivileged individuals. We provide safe housing for Veterans, domestic violence survivors and their children and homeless women and their children.
