About Us

The War on Poverty Florida, Inc. (WPF) is committed to the revitalization of minority communities in Florida. Utilizing a collaborative approach, WPF is dedicated to reducing poverty and racial inequality, increasing opportunities for asset accumulation for minority families, and ensuring that their voices are heard in major policy debates. 

WPF incorporated as a Florida nonprofit organization March 2007.  We have embarked upon a journey to lay the ground work for revitalization of target communities throughout the State of Florida. 

WPF develops local boards and partnerships to assist in the creation of a comprehensive approach to fighting poverty in their communities through economic development, workforce development, housing and financial literacy. The community is empowered to transform from spectators to players and become active participants and stakeholders in the design and development of the future of their community and the neighborhoods they live in, work in, and raise and educate their children.
