LANSING, Mich. Lifting millions of Michiganders out of poverty will require bold new initiatives, expanded state policies and a significant financial investment, according to a new report released Wednesday by the Michigan Poverty Task Force.
The group recently presented its findings – a list of 35 policy recommendations – to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. She created the task force back in December 2019 to identify new ways state government can help low-income Michiganders transcend poverty.
