Crisis, evictions, and financial challenges for the working poor with Tchernavia Montgomery and Chuck Jones

Many cost-burdened families were struggling with housing, childcare, and utilities payments before the pandemic. How is Covid-19 affecting the working poor, and what can we do to help? To answer this question, we've invited Tchernavia Montgomery, Chief Program Officer at Crisis Assistance Ministry, to talk about the challenges many families are facing and how her organization is working to provide financial assistance and resources to families on the brink. Tchernavia also talks about inequality through the lens of racial disparities for Black families - and how working to reduce poverty must also address systemic racism. We also invited Chuck Jones, Executive Director of Commonwealth Charlotte, to talk about financial wellbeing and education for cost-burdened families. Chuck talks about how his work makes banking and financial products more accessible to working families. Learn more about this episode and more at www.commongooddata.com/podcast. Love this episode?
