Yes, that is a common phrase. You could also say "fall into poverty" as in:
He fell into poverty after losing his job.
He was reduced to poverty after losing his job.

Reduced to poverty - common
fell into - many things - not sure I've ever heard it actually used for poverty as reduced to is so commonly known.
