Community Voices Heard, Inc.

Community voices heard is an organization of low income people, mostly women on welfare and public housing residents, working together to improve the lives of our members' families and all poor people in New York city and state.
Directed, run and being built by low-income people, growing grass roots organization that uses public education, public policy research, community organizing, leadership development, voter education & mobilization, and direct action issue organizing to build membership and to organize around issues that are defined by membership.
While they began with a focus on welfare reform, they broadly define "welfare activism" to be multi issue, and thus must include issues such as education, training, jobs, housing, economic development and other community issues.
