## Resource

One in five kids grow up in poverty, and rising costs of rent, bills, food, and childcare are forcing families into impossible choices. But solutions don’t have to be complex—just smarter: better access to help before crises hit, tapping into frontline knowledge, and bold, systemic change. The Council’s pushing forward with five neighborhood prevention hubs, but real progress needs big players like Holyrood and Westminster to fund housing, reform social security, create better jobs, and expand affordable childcare. With the Edinburgh Partnership uniting police, health, universities, and businesses, the goal is clear: stop poverty before it starts—and make getting help human, accessible, and effective.
