The Mission of the Quincy Illinois Poverty Project
We uphold that ALL humans have intrinsic value and have earned the right to safe, stable, and affordable housing without being subject to discrimination, substandard conditions, cruelty or retribution.
The mission of the Quincy Illinois Poverty Project is to make the people of Quincy aware of the plight of its poorest citizens through real stories of real people.
To work with others to provide a safe space for dialogue, and to propose creative solutions to address the diverse needs of community members in poverty.
We believe that by working together to open people’s eyes to the devastating effects of poverty, particularly as it relates to the wide-spread problem of substandard rental properties in Quincy, we can make our community a safe and affordable place for all to call home.
