It is interesting to me that Bloomberg is bringing his local NYC anti-poverty initiatives national, when the results from his projects in the Center for Economic Opportunity are not necessarily proving valuable. Bloomberg is championing the public/private funding for his pilot programs, and highlighting the city's "most promising programs" through grants from the Corporation for National and Community Service. This article, however, illustrates that although the ten year experimental project has received a large amount of public and private funding (centralized through the mayor's office), there have been little notable effects on poverty in New York City.
