- Summary:
- Poverty is not one set of circumstances or a universal experience. Instead, it is a set of experiences, circumstances, and situations that overlap, are interconnected, and are rooted deeply in political, social, economic, and cultural systems. Poverty is therefore created by depriving communities generally, but neighborhoods specifically, of basic human needs. Poverty is created by depriving certain neighborhoods of the necessary resources to meet basic human needs. Children and their families contending with life in deprived neighborhoods experience a gamut of forces. When neighborhoods are deprived of resources to ensure that their members, especially children, have consistent nutritional food, access to clean water, adequate and safe housing and healthcare, and the forging of meaningful relationships with community members, including parents, then survival becomes a day-to-day objective. Through an exploration of current theories of neighborhood generally, but also social organization, broken window, and pluralistic theories specifically, this study uncovered how neighborhoods are composed and how that composition impacts those who reside in them. This study used the District of Columbia to understand how elements of privation, including food insecurity and hunger, housing insecurity and homelessness, parental incarceration (maternal and paternal), lethal community (gun) and intimate partner violence, parent substance abuse and use and other mental health disorders, and interactions with the child welfare systems obstruct child needs. Also, the researcher used semi-structured interviews with community-based organizational program leaders to determine how children and their families contending with the elements of privation perceived the impact of privation on their lives, how privation compromises their physiological and safety needs as well as their senses of belonging and love. Finally, this study aimed to understand how children contending with privation likely show up to school, given how they show up to community-based organizations in service to mitigating and eradicating the impact of deprivation.
