Empire State Poverty Reduction Initiative (Hempstead)
 
 
 
The Village of Hempstead was selected as one of 16 communities statewide to participate in the Empire State Poverty Reduction Initiative (ESPRI). ESPRI is modeled after the Rochester-Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative and is an exciting opportunity for community members to work together to develop and execute an innovative plan to reduce the number/percentage of households in the Village of Hempstead residing in poverty and increase the number/percentage of households with earned income above poverty.
