BEYOND THE NUMBERS
In Case You Missed It...
This week at CBPP, we focused on poverty and inequality, housing, and the economy.
- On poverty and inequality, Sharon Parrott testified before the House Budget Committee on how COVID relief efforts achieved historic gains against poverty and hardship while bolstering the economy.
- On housing, Erik Gartland’s chart book highlighted how relief measures reduced hardship for renters during the pandemic, but many still struggle to pay rent.
- On the economy, we updated our chart book tracking the recovery from the pandemic recession.
