A big cause of poverty is the high cost of housing. That also leads to homelessness, another topic here.
Research has shown that mixed-income housing has a significant effect on reducing poverty.
As Robert Reich says, ban Wall Street firms from buying up housing, crack down on corporate landlords that collude to jack up rent prices, get rid of zoning (and other) laws that make it harder to build homes, and increase funding to boost the construction of housing in cities that need it most.
