GFESC WHAT’S POVERTY GOT TO DO WITH IT: Children and Families in Crisis



Arkansas’s poverty rate of 17.2% is the seventh highest in the US, only surpassed by Louisiana and Mississippi in the South. Kids Count data indicate that 24% of children in Arkansas live in poverty. The COVID-19 pandemic has worsened this issue, with many more children and families in the crisis of poverty than ever before.
School nurses see the impact of poverty on student health, firsthand. It affects students in a variety of ways. It can be seen via health issues stemming from food insecurity, poor housing, homelessness, or limited access to medical care for illnesses. Students who are living in the crisis of poverty have higher rates of hospital admissions, disability days, and death rates.
