York's Poverty Challenge

Purpose of Report: The report will update Members regarding current baseline data relating to poverty in the city and the impact of upcoming welfare reform changes. The report will also summarise current council action to address poverty and quantify the scale of the coming challenge to address poverty in the city.

Members will be asked to agree a policy approach to addressing gaps in the council’s poverty focus.

The reason this item has been deferred to the April Cabinet is to allow for consultation with partners.
