There are an estimated four million immigrant and second generation Muslims in the United States. Of these, at least 500,000 are living lives characterized by poverty or the risk of poverty.1 The vast majority are recent immigrants (arriving in the past 10 years) and their families. Their greatest challenges are economic ??? finding jobs that pay living wages, affordable housing and health care ??? and family stability ??? keeping families safe, together and strong in the context of poverty, language barriers and cultural differences.(Description from source)
