24 The legacy system of place-based anti-poverty programs does not map easily onto the suburban landscape $82 billion 81 federal programs 10 agencies
25 Suburbs face additional challenges Lack of Capacity Extensive Fragmentation Inflexible, Unreliable Funding
26 3 We need a new agenda for metropolitan opportunity
27 Yet innovators across the country are finding creative ways to navigate this system
