KAHIRAPAN at PABAHAY

Ang pagmamay-ari ng bahay ay lumilikha ng mas matatag na mga pamilya at kapitbahayan. Ipinapakita ng pananaliksik na ang mga may-ari ng bahay ay mas malamang na gumawa ng pamumuhunan sa kanilang mga kapitbahayan at komunidad. AngAmerican Community Surveyay nagpakita na mas kaunting mga pamilya ang kayang bumili ng murang bahay sa 2021 kaysa dati sa Reno. Hindi lamang ito nakakaapekto sa mga indibidwal na naghahanap ng tahanan para sa personal na katatagan, ngunit ang mga ripple effect ng nagresultang kawalang-tatag ay nararamdaman sa malayo at malawak- mula sa mga industriya na nakakakita ng pagtaas ng turnover ng empleyado, mga paaralan na nakakaranas ng pabagu-bagong pagpapatala, hanggang sa pangkalahatang kawalan ng pamumuhunan at koneksyon na nararamdaman sa ating mga lokal na kapitbahayan .

 

Ang mga sanhi ng kahirapan at kakulangan ng abot-kayang pabahay ay marami at masalimuot ngunit sa esensya ay nagmumula sa simpleng katotohanan na ang kita ng mga tao ay hindi naaayon sa halaga ng pabahay. Upang labanan ang mga panggigipit na ito, isang multi-pronged na diskarte-mula sa mas mahusay na edukasyon at mga pagkakataon sa pagpapaunlad ng workforce para sa mga nagtapos hanggang sa mas mataas na imbentaryo ng mga opsyon sa pabahay sa LAHAT ng antas.

DIGGING INTO THE DATA

The data on NevadaTomorrow.com includes over 40 indicators related to poverty, housing insecurity, food insecurity, and other social determinants of health impacting the quality of life in the region. ​The indicators provide a data-driven understanding of socio-economic and health challenges contributing to poverty and homelessness in Washoe County. They cover economic stability, housing affordability, food security, and health determinants, offering insights into vulnerable groups and economic disparities. The housing indicators assess affordability and stability while measuring access to adequate nutrition.​Many indicators provide data over time, allowing trend analysis to understand whether conditions are improving or worsening, which is crucial for policy evaluation and planning. By identifying areas with the greatest need, these indicators can guide the allocation of resources and the development of programs to address specific issues effectively.

MGA BATA SA KAHIRAPAN

Ang kita ng pamilya ay ipinakita na nakakaapekto sa kapakanan ng isang bata sa maraming pag-aaral. Kung ikukumpara sa kanilang mga kapantay, ang mga batang nasa kahirapan ay mas malamang na magkaroon ng mga problema sa pisikal na kalusugan kabilang ang mababang timbang ng kapanganakan at pagkalason sa tingga, at mas malamang na magkaroon din ng mga problema sa pag-uugali at emosyonal. Ang mga batang nasa kahirapan ay may posibilidad ding magpakita ng mga paghihirap sa pag-iisip, tulad ng ipinakita sa mga marka ng pagsusulit sa tagumpay, at mas malamang na makatapos ng pangunahing edukasyon.

 

Ipinapakita ng indicator na ito ang porsyento ng mga taong wala pang 18 taong gulang na naninirahan sa ibaba ng antas ng pederal na kahirapan.
