Not really sure if there is any "helping" people like that.
Was interesting though, mostly because it costs the tax payers 9 billion pounds a year to "help" families like this.
Can't find the darn story now.

I don't think poverty is really a lack of money.The problems of these people stem from feeling poor,poor choices and behaviours.
IMO these people need to help themselves first,then they will get the help they need.Just giving them money won't change a thing.Equally setting up vast,expansive and especially expensive programs is not desirable.
They need to change their poor behaviour,stop feeling poor.
