FPWA

FPWA boldly interrogates the lies we have collectively been told about poverty in this country. In our search for truth, FPWA is creating pathways to find the structural solutions that will set us free... FPWA was founded in 1922 when the number of homeless children without guardianship in the city became a crisis. Few organizations existed to address the situation and their efforts were disjointed. Black and brown children had few places to go. Our founders rallied to the need, supporting programs for these children and providing a unifying voice for others working in the community... FPWA is an anti-poverty policy and advocacy organization committed to advancing economic opportunity, justice, and upward mobility for New Yorkers with low incomes.
