San Diego for Every Child: The Coalition to End Child Poverty

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – To the newly formed San Diego for Every Child: The Coalition to End Child Poverty joined Good Morning San Diego to discuss what they are doing to reduce childhood poverty.

According to U.S. census data, nearly 200,000 of San Diego’s youngest children are living in families who are barely able to make ends meet – often having to choose between paying for rent, childcare or food to eat.

The coalition’s mission is to cut the experience of childhood poverty in San Diego County in half by 2030 to make sure that every child in the region has their basic needs met.
