Launched in 2002, the Working Poor Families Project (WPFP) is a national initiative focused on state workforce development policies involving:
1) education and skills training for adults;
2) economic development; and
3) income and work supports.
The WPFP supports nonprofit groups in 20 states to assess and improve the economic conditions and policies affecting working poor families in those states. Crittenton Women's Union is the Massachusetts partner for the Working Poor Families Project. As part of this initiative, CWU released the new policy brief, “Unlocking the Doors to Higher Education and Training for Massachusetts' Working Poor Families,” detailing policy recommendations to help low-income adults complete post-secondary education and training to secure employment at self-sufficiency level wages.
