For more than 25 years, the EITC Outreach Campaign, which includes community organizations, employers, social service programs, and government agencies, has promoted the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), the Child Tax Credit and free tax filing assistance for lower- and moderate-income workers.

Each year millions of eligible workers risk missing out on these important federal tax benefits because they do not know they qualify, do not know how to claim the credits, or do not know where to find free tax filing assistance. Outreach efforts can help ensure that eligible workers can receive the tax credits they’ve earned.

In addition to health care, these individuals, often need affordable housing linked to support services, and the systems offering these services need to be well-coordinated.
