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.
KERA’s One Crisis Away series “Still On The Edge” is funded in part by Communities Foundation of Texas, Texas Women’s Foundation and the Carl B. & Florence E. King Foundation.
