The Community Action Poverty Simulation is a learning tool created to help people understand the realities of the most vulnerable population. During the simulation, participants role-play the lives of low income families and realize the barriers individuals and families face on their road to self-sufficiency. Participants are assigned to family units and have the stressful task of providing for basic necessities and shelter on a limited budget during the simulation. They interact with human service agencies, grocers, bill collectors, job interviewers, police officers and other community members. Each family tries to provide food, shelter and other basic necessities, including health care needs, for themselves and their loved ones.
The simulation enables participants to look at poverty from a variety of angles and then to discuss the potential for change within their local communities. It was designed to sensitize those who frequently deal with low-income families, as well as to create a broader awareness of the realities of poverty among policymakers, community leaders, and others.
This service is offered by poverty simulation trainers from across the state at CAAP Network agencies and is based on availability.
