archivesLIFE ONE PAYCHECK AWAY FROM POVERTY
IT'S ESTIMATED THAT NEARLY 10% OF COLORADO'S POPULATION LIVES IN POVERTY. AND IT'S NOT JUST THE UNEMPLOYED. LOTS OF PEOPLE WITH JOBS EITHER CAN'T AFFORD BASICS LIKE FOOD, SHELTER AND MEDICINE. MANY ARE JUST ONE PAYCHECK AWAY FROM BECOMING HOMELESS.
THE COLORADO COALITION FOR THE HOMELESS LAUNCHED A STATEWIDE TOUR YESTERDAY TO GATHER TESTIMONY ABOUT THE CHALLENGES FACED BY POOR PEOPLE. THEY PLAN TO REPORT THEIR FINDINGS TO STATE LAWMAKERS EARLY NEXT YEAR.
