Radical response to poverty?

I live and minister on a small estate (housing project) with significant deprivation. We tried to get CAP life skills going here because we thought it'd be useful, but it was really difficult to get any movement despite it all seeming straight forward. COVID didn't help but even after that I juts couldn't get momentum.

This year at a Christian conference I was worshipping and I percieved God tell me that He didn't allow it because He had more in mind for the people on my estate than learning how to cope with intergenerational poverty and exploitation wages.

I don't really know what to do with that other than pray about it.

How would you go about challenging intergenerational poverty and exploitation wages?
