Impact analysis
Widespread child poverty stifles local economic growth and strains city resources as more funding gets funneled into social safety nets.
No specific groups benefit from this situation, though it clearly signals where non-profits and social programs need to focus their funding.
Youngstown's children and families bear the brunt of this, facing fewer opportunities and limited access to essential resources.
