Tonight on One Detroit:
- How Expensive It Is to Be Broke
COVID-19 put American social safety net programs to the test, making long standing systemic issues even more visible. One Detroit’s Will Glover took a look at one of those issues–how expensive it is to be broke. He spoke with experts working to lift people out of poverty, those who’ve experienced the added costs of low-wages, and how getting a raise pushes some in need off of a financial cliff.
