Overview
The 2024 PovertyCure Summit, “Dignity, Agency, & Charity,” was a virtual event put on by Acton’s Center for Social Flourishing. Over two days, participants learned from scholars and practitioners involved in the global struggle against poverty—and against “toxic charity” that hinders people’s ability to rise.
On today’s episode, we bring you a panel discussion from the summit, entitled “Finding Solutions to America’s Housing Shortage.” The director of Acton’s Center for Social Flourishing, Michael Matheson Miller, speaks to James Hurling and Charles Marohn about the importance of empowering impoverished households.
