Our Cities Reducing Poverty Convenor Call focused on the first report of the National Advisory Council on Poverty. We were joined by Scott MacAfee, Chair of the Council, who shared the context for developing the report, the journey in the past year amidst the pandemic, and how they reached their findings and recommendations. We hope the discussion was useful for members and in feeding back to the Council on next steps.
