This publication outlines the challenges families in urban and rural communities face in meeting their daily needs and accessing fair and appropriate financial services. As nearly one in five rural kids is poor, the policies and tools presented here help reduce the barriers hard working families in any environment encounter on the path out of poverty. It explores the potential for collaboration between urban and rural advocates to advance state policy for family economic success.
