About
One Crisis Away puts a human face on asset poverty and the financial struggles of people in North Texas. One in three North Texans can’t weather a financial storm that lasts 90 days. The problem's known as asset poverty, and it doesn't discriminate. A job loss, health emergency, even legal trouble is enough to plunge a third of our friends and neighbors into financial distress.
One Crisis Away At The Holidays is funded in part by Communities Foundation of Texas and Texas Women’s Foundation.
