Supporting families’ fundamental needs.
Family stability is supported when families have access to safe neighborhoods where children can grow and play, and the income they need to meet basic needs such as stable housing, food and nutrition, and diaper supplies. Families need a range of equitable policies that bolster economic security when children are young and their development most sensitive to economic want. The expanded Child Tax Credit is a proven tool to reduce child poverty and support families in creating the environment in which young children thrive.
