While there are many factors that contribute to women living in poverty, the lack of affordable housing and recurrence of eviction are the most pervasive. In NYC, a typical household spends ⅔ of income on rent. On top of this families with children at home are almost 3 times more likely to be evicted and eviction records make it even harder to find suitable housing. . To learn more about these factors and other aspects of this campaign, please visit the page "Putting It in Context" on our website. Putting It In Context is Art Start’s educational campaign to raise awareness about the biopsychosocial issues impacting Art Start participants. http://www.art-start.org/putting-it-in-context-women-are-disproportionately-affected-by-poverty/ #NYCHousingCrisis #AddressingPoverty #WomenInNYC #seemebecause #ArtSavesLives
Final showcase with the Bronx Hope youth! @shelteringarmsny
As part of the #PuttingItInContext campaign, we acknowledge the ways women are disproportionately affected by poverty in NYC. In the same breath we recognize the efforts of women-led, women-driven and women-serving organizations. Mothers on the move / Madres en Movimiento (MOM) is a Community-based social justice organization in the South Bronx mobilizing around issues of educational equity, affordable housing, and community safety. MOM has been a leader in bringing community members together since 1992, to identify priority needs and build successful campaigns that produce qualitative improvements in residents' lives. .

“1 in 4 women are economically vulnerable in NYC.” The above quote is taken from the Economic Security and Well-Being Index for Women in NYC. This index created by @nywomensfdn looks closely at how issues such as poverty, violence and health, impact women and girls in New York City. Shout out to The New York Women's Foundation for their amazing work!
