The influences of poverty, family status and violence in the lives of children and families seen at a large urban children's aid society are investigated. Rates of social assistance dependency of child welfare families in 1995 and 2001 are compared. While the rate of poverty of child welfare families is stable across the two time periods, the ability of families to cope with poverty has dramatically changed, with the percentage of children from impoverished families being admitted into care nearly doubling across the six-year period. Violence as a mitigating factor in the relationship between poverty, the extent of child welfare service and child and family outcomes is also reported. Suggestions for enabling women who are caught in the complexity of choosing between physical safety and poverty are reported. Les influences de la pauvreté, de la position sociale de la famille et de la violence sur la vie des enfants et des familles vues à une grande société urbaine d'aide à l'enfance sont examinées. Les taux de dépendance des familles vis-à-vis des programmes de protection de l'enfance en 1995 et 2001 sont comparés. Tandis que le taux de pauvreté des familles qui se servent du système de protection de l'enfance est stable à travers les deux périodes de temps, la capacité des familles de faire face à la pauvreté a radicalement changé, le pourcentage d'enfants de familles appauvries qui sont placés dans des familles d'accueil ayant presque doublé à travers la période de six ans. On fait aussi compte-rendu de la violence comme facteur atténuant dans le rapport entre la pauvreté, l'étendue du service de protection des enfants et les résultats pour les enfants et les familles. On résume aussi des suggestions favorisant l'habilitation des femmes qui se trouvent coincées dans la complexité de choisir entre la sûreté physique et la pauvreté
