This 9/13/19 opinion piece in Noozhawk (by Laura Capps, vice president of the SB Unified School District Board of Education and a candidate for Santa Barbara County First District supervisor) discusses the poverty rate in Santa Barbara County and the importance of CalFresh and CalEITC outreach to combat it, particularly in mid-County. The piece makes reference to the PPIC poverty report issued about a year ago (see local media coverage at the time here) as well as the 2013 Poverty Report.
