Participation also varies across California’s counties. This begs the question of how much lower poverty rates would be—would they still be the highest in the country?—if participation rates were higher. As this example shows, housing costs are not the only area in which California stands out. And, while policy clearly plays an important role in offsetting the higher cost of living in California (it more than offsets cost of living in families with children), it has the potential to move the needle on poverty even further.\r\nhttp://www.ppic.org/main/blog_detail.asp?i=1467\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/codeforamerica/clean/issues/comments/71412609","html_url":"https://github.com/codeforamerica/clean/issues/28#issuecomment-71412609","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/codeforamerica/clean/issues/28","id":71412609,"user":{"login":"alanjosephwilliams","id":2983464,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2983464?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/alanjosephwilliams","html_url":"https://github.com/alanjosephwilliams","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/alanjosephwilliams/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/alanjosephwilliams/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/alanjosephwilliams/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/alanjosephwilliams/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/alanjosephwilliams/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/alanjosephwilliams/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/alanjosephwilliams/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/alanjosephwilliams/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/alanjosephwilliams/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-01-26T04:04:37Z","updated_at":"2015-01-26T04:04:37Z","body":"I just migrated these links and some of Dave's commentary to the Health Wiki. \r\n\r\nhttps://github.com/codeforamerica/health/wiki/Research:-Who-is-Eligible,-Interested,-and-Not-Enrolled-in-CalFresh%3F"}}
