UNDERSTANDING POVERTY.

East Texas Human Needs Network of Tyler (ETHNN) is a network of individuals and organizations working together for strengthened programs, connection, and improved awareness of services that meet essential human needs. ETHNN provides a poverty simulation experience designed to help audiences begin to understand what it might be like to live in a typical low-income family trying to survive from month to month. It is a simulation, not a game. The object is to sensitize audiences to the realities faced by our low-income neighbors.
