One Crisis Away

KERA’s One Crisis Away project focuses a spotlight on North Texans living on the financial edge.

The problem’s known as asset poverty, and it doesn’t discriminate. A job loss, health emergency, even legal trouble can be enough to plunge a third of our friends and neighbors into financial distress. One Crisis Away puts a human face on asset poverty and the financial struggles of people in North Texas.

Explore One Crisis Away.

One Crisis Away: After The Flood is funded in part by Communities Foundation of Texas and the Texas Women’s Foundation.
