Today is the pub date of my book A GOOD PROVIDER IS ONE WHO LEAVES. Here is a timeline of the Comodas family. I have been writing about them for 30 years.

“The homeless” are not an undifferentiated mass but individuals with inner lives and a search for meaning. https://t.co/mo20rmlKZn

If the US could cut homelesness among veterans in half, perhaps it could do the same for others. https://t.co/9dAkugWMRV via @NYTimes

The homeless population is aging. One result: nursing homes for the unhoused.https://t.co/6e7CMAGwtH

Narrated article: Pastor Acevedo is reluctant to complain about restrictions on immigrant aid. “I’m very, very, grateful to God and to this country ” he said. But when he talked of seeing hungry children, his voice caught. “I know what it’s like,” he said. https://t.co/WOqJaPbecR

Children of immigrants, the fastest-growing group of American youths, have poverty rates more than twice those of other kids. Fully 44 percent of poor children have an immigrant parent.

Did the fall in teen births reduce child poverty—or did the fall in child poverty reduce teen births? Two compelling women have lived this question. https://t.co/wMQPkLsYSs

[Jason DeParle @JasonDeParle]

Child poverty fell to a record low. The program that did the most to reduce it vanished.

[The Gist @PescaGist]

Today on The Gist. @JasonDeParle of The New York Times documents how childhood poverty has fallen dramatically over the past three decades. Plus, John Fetterman’s debate performance was surprising and, potentially, very costly. And Raccooninfostealer! https://t.co/jIXl4xEKGp

[Jason DeParle @JasonDeParle]

I enjoyed this conversation with @krysboydthink about some rare good news on poverty trends.

[Think on KERA @kerathink]

Podcast: 🎧 @JasonDeParle, a @NYTimes reporter, joins @krysboydthink to talk about why childhood poverty figures have plummeted.

They also discuss the role of government aid and what surprised policy watchers about the new numbers. Listen here! https://t.co/6PFerzWfHH

[David Callahan @DavidCallahanIP]

With polls showing deep distrust of govt and pervasive cynicism that new programs will accomplish much, we need to do more to sell victories like this.

[Jason DeParle @JasonDeParle]

My thanks to these eloquent families and my data partners, @DanaLThomson and @ReneeRyberg, at @ChildTrends. Read their report here. https://t.co/eejYFE2XbI

[Jason DeParle @JasonDeParle]

Child poverty, a source of national shame, has fallen nearly 60 percent over the past generation. I spoke with @stavernise at The Daily about the reasons. https://t.co/4OIDdiFieo

[Jason DeParle @JasonDeParle]

With child poverty cut by more than half, it’s hard to say, as Ronald Reagan did, that we fought a war on poverty "and poverty won.” More than 8 million children remain poor — a moral stain — but a defeatist narrative is obsolete.
