Poverty Simulation
Port Of Corpus Christi is proud to be the presenting sponsor benefitting Mission 911 of the “Community Action Poverty Simulation (CAPS)”, co-sponsored by TXU Energy. This is a unique tool that community action agencies can use to educate everyone, from policy makers to local community leaders, about the day-to-day realities of life with a shortage of money and an abundance of stress. CAPS is a copyrighted tool made available by the Missouri Association for Community Action to organizations that want to promote a greater understanding of poverty.
During a simulation, participants role-play the lives of low-income families, from single parents trying to care for their children to senior citizens trying to maintain their self- sufficiency on Social Security. The task of each family is to provide food, shelter and other necessities during the simulation while interacting with various community resources staffed by low-income volunteers.
Although it uses “play” money and other props, fictional scenarios, and time limits, CAPS is not a game. It is a simulation tool that enables participants to view poverty from different angles in an experiential setting, while empowering low-income volunteers by allowing them an opportunity to interact with leaders from their community.
We have the Honor to have Texas State Representative Todd Hunter to have a fireplace chat about Mental illness. Come and hear the great work State Rep. Todd Hunter is doing for Mental illness in our great state of Texas.
