About
The Poverty Solution
Founded in 2021, The Poverty Solution is dedicated to transforming how communities address poverty. Our mission is to drive lasting change through strategic action, community empowerment, and innovative solutions.Â
Our work is grounded in the four decades of experience of our founder, Scott C. Miller, who has designed and implemented programs that have helped families move out of poverty across the United States and parts of Canada.
At the heart of our approach is the Poverty Alleviation System, a comprehensive program guiding families through five stages to achieve economic stability. Our model builds highly accountable teams to address systemic barriers and foster collaboration among stakeholders, ensuring sustainable, community-driven solutions. By engaging local leaders and leveraging evidence-based strategies, we empower communities to create measurable, lasting impact.
The Poverty Solution provides tailored strategies and leadership training to strengthen existing programs or launch new initiatives, helping communities begin the reduction of poverty rates and build new pathways to prosperity.
Join us in our mission to not just reduce poverty levels, but to revolutionize lives, rekindle hope, and forge a future where eventually every individual can thrive and prosper.
