POVERTY: HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT

In a week-long series of reports, the Harris Group newspapers explore the growth of poverty in Kansas this decade, the factors causing it and what communities are doing to curb it. A problem that's often "hidden in plain sight" from the perspective of anti-poverty advocates, the series looks at how poverty has grown, the lack of affordable housing, challenges of educating poor students, the difficulty in finding jobs that pay a living wage, the growing demand on social services and the unique struggles of the rural poor.
