I'd like for us to consider three things.

First, what was the theory of poverty that guided

That is, how did they think about who is poor,

why they were poor, and what could be done about it?

Second, how's our thinking about these issues

research and on-the-ground interventions?

And third, what are the implications of that

With some particular attention to how AmeriCorps VISTA,

VISTAs themselves, and the agencies they support

might think about a new anti-poverty agenda

In the War on Poverty era, it seems to me,

poverty was typically understood to be a thing that happens

President Johnson described people living in poverty as,

"isolated from the mainstream of American life

People living in poverty were them, not us,

and poverty itself was understood to be an anomaly,

an aberration, a deviation from the norm.

As a consequence, part of the mission of the Great Society

through education, job training, housing,

But we now know, that poverty is not something

experienced by a small minority of people.

It shows a poverty rate of 14.5 percent in 2013.

That's about 46 million Americans living at or

If we look at the Census Bureau supplemental

poverty measure, it shows a poverty rate really of about

Either way, these measures are only telling us

how many people ended up with net income that falls

below the poverty line over the course of the entire year.

But we now know that people slip in and out of poverty

So if we step back and ask, how many people experience

a spell of poverty over a four year period,

we find that 35 percent, more than one-third of Americans

will be poor at least once for two months or more.

Since VISTA's founding, we've learned that poverty

Poverty's not something that happens to them,

it's something that will happen to lots of us.

That's important I think in part, because perhaps,

if people cannot be mobilized to fight poverty

maybe they might be mobilized for selfish ones.

It's also a way to highlight one of the virtues of

Because VISTA's earn a poverty-level stipend,

perhaps it's easier for them to think of people struggling

to get by with limited resources as us, not them.

While 35 percent of all Americans will experience poverty

at least once over the course of a four year period,

fewer than three percent of us will be consistently poor

but that's not what most poverty looks like.

In some ways, perhaps we've been focusing

Given how many people have an experience of poverty,

how many people are perched on the edge of it,

and slip in and out of it, perhaps instead of

talking about poverty, we should be talking about insecurity

More and more Americans live precarious economic lives,

and are utterly unprepared for an emergency that suddenly

increases their expenses or reduces their income.

And how do remedies directed at insecurity

differ from our traditional remedies directed at poverty?

even more so than we thought in the 1960s.

Combine that with inadequate pre-natal care

and childhood nutrition, and you get irreversible,
