underserved communities
Underserved communities are groups of people who have limited access to essential services such as healthcare, education, housing, and economic opportunities. These communities often face barriers like geographic isolation, economic hardship, or systemic inequality, which prevent them from receiving the same level of support and resources as other populations. As a result, residents may experience poorer health outcomes, lower educational attainment, and fewer job prospects. Addressing the needs of these communities involves targeted efforts to improve access and reduce disparities, promoting equitable opportunities for all members to thrive.
