Too many children and families in our community are living in a cycle of poverty, a heartbreaking reality that was underscored in the recent Repository article Child poverty in Stark County, Canton at crisis level.

We have seen poverty steal childhood from children who do not deserve to grow up so quickly. We have also seen that a good home, an affordable home, helps our neighbors break the generational grip of poverty.
