Diana George argues that nonprofit agencies like Habitat for Humanity often represent poverty in a way that emphasizes individual responsibility and the need for personal effort rather than addressing systemic issues. This portrayal can inadvertently reinforce stereotypes about the poor, framing them as lacking initiative or deserving of their circumstances. Nonprofits may focus on providing immediate solutions, such as housing, while overlooking the broader social, economic, and political factors that contribute to poverty. Consequently, the narrative surrounding poverty can become simplified and disconnected from the complex realities faced by those experiencing it.
