Houston’s vibrant economy masks a stark truth: 1 in 5 children in the three-county region live in poverty. Nationally, 1 in 3 children born into poverty remain poor as adults. These realities challenge our vision of the American Dream—the idea that everyone can move up the income ladder in their lifetime and across generations. For a decade, Opportunity Insights has conducted groundbreaking research exposing how economic mobility remains elusive for so many Americans. Now, with updated data, we can see how these trends have evolved nationally and with a Houston lens. Join us for a timely webinar featuring the Opportunity Insights team as they share the latest findings on economic mobility with a special focus on Houston. Hear from local leaders about what has driven or hindered progress and how we can drive upward mobility together. Join us for a deep dive into: • Key findings from Opportunity Insights’ research and newly updated Opportunity Atlas • Key trends and data specific to the Houston region • Strategies and policies that have advanced or hindered progress over the last two decades • Actionable steps we can take—across sectors—to foster upward mobility This session is brought to you through a partnership between Greater Houston Community Foundation, United Way of Greater Houston and the Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership at Rice University.
