Why a simulation?

June 02, 2025

Poverty is a reality for many individuals and families. But unless you’ve experienced poverty, it’s difficult to truly understand. The program developed by the Missouri Community Action Poverty Simulation (CAPS) bridges that gap from misconception to understanding. CAPS is an interactive immersion experience. It sensitizes community participants to the realities of poverty.

Hosted by: Fifth Judicial Circuit Family Violence Coordinating Council and HOPE of ECI

Facilitator/Presenter: U of I Extension Community and Economic Development Educator Valerie Belusko
