![]() How can my giving contribute to the physical and financial security of low-income families and neighborhoods? An abiding sense of insecurity, both physical and financial, is perhaps the most devastating feature of poverty. Increasing the physical and financial security of low-income communities, often on a family-by-family basis, is critical to the long-term viability of communities. Safer families can be the result of community policing efforts, domestic violence programs and increased engagement in community affairs and decision-making. On the financial side, programs that help families establish mainstream banking relationships, avoid predatory lenders and save for the future lead to greater self-sufficiency and self-esteem. Taken together, this increased security offers the breathing room needed for low-income families to play more active and positive roles in their neighborhoods and communities.
