Because poverty continues to impact hard-working Michigan families, the
event kicks off a statewide initiative to reduce poverty and to maximize
economic opportunities for all.
Policymakers, residents and service providers from across the state
looked for ways to ensure that as Michigan’s economy recovers, no citizen is
left behind.
