Abstract:

Durham Mayor Bill Bell has attempted to reduce poverty and revitalize inner-city neighborhoods for the past sixteen years. During this time, Durham’s downtown has seen a renaissance but the poverty rate has risen. A new initiative called Transformation in Ten is a coordinated effort to address the causes and symptoms of poverty, including housing, finance, jobs, public safety, health and education.
