Project ERASE Poverty

Who We Are

Project ERASE Poverty is a community-led initiative coordinated by LAYC and a network of partners serving the East Riverdale, Adelphi, and Beltsville communities, with support from the Maryland Governor's Office for Children through the ENOUGH Initiative. Together, we are building a coordinated ecosystem of support that connects youth and families to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.

By partnering with schools, community organizations, government agencies, and local businesses, Project ERASE Poverty aligns services and resources to address the holistic needs of children and families, creating lasting pathways to stability, well-being, and success.
