On Tuesday, Governor Wes Moore unveiled the ENOUGH Act, a first-in-the-nation state-level effort to end concentrated poverty.
“ENOUGH will be the rallying cry not just here in Baltimore, but ENOUGH will be the rallying cry all throughout the state of Maryland. We’ve had enough with poverty, crime and a system where generational challenges go unaddressed. We’ve had enough of the same neighborhoods facing the same issues – and coming up with the same solutions that drive the same results,” said Gov. Moore. “We will help transform distressed communities into places with top schools; good jobs, safe neighborhoods, quality housing, and economic momentum. That’s the future we’re trying to build. And we’re going to build it in partnership.”
We've introduced the ENOUGH Act to fight poverty in our communities by channeling state money and support toward our most impoverished neighborhoods.

The answers are here. Marylanders are ready. We're going to get this done, and we'll do it in partnership with those communities. pic.twitter.com/UWWvcH6IDL
The ENOUGH Act will surge resources into rural, urban, and suburban communities with disproportionately high numbers of children living in poverty.

It will empower us to use data and strategy to fight concentrated poverty and lift communities.https://t.co/trcgIHBUIE
