The Community Action Poverty Simulation (CAPS) is a unique tool that can be used to educate everyone, from policy makers to local community leaders, about the typical day to day strategies of a low-income family trying to survive, day to day, with a shortage of money and an abundance of stress.  It is a simulation, not a game. 

The object is to sensitize participants to the hardships faced by real people. In post-experience surveys, over 85% of participants reported an above average or high level of increased knowledge about the financial pressures faced by low-income families in meeting basic needs.

Carl Folsom will be leading the Inn Board in putting on a Poverty Simulation at the KU Law School. Donations will be accepted to support local programs to aid those whose hardships we can all better understand.
