BEYOND THE NUMBERS
In Case You Missed It…
This week at CBPP, we focused on food assistance, housing, health, state budgets and taxes, and the economy.
- On food assistance, Katie Bergh and Dottie Rosenbaum emphasized how House Republicans’ proposals could take food away from millions of low-income individuals and families.
- On housing, Sonya Acosta described how the President’s housing proposals in his fiscal year 2024 budget request are both practical and progressive
- On health, Allison Orris and Sarah Lueck updated their paper warning that congressional Republicans’ budget plans are likely to cut health coverage.
- On state budgets and taxes, Iris Hinh updated her recent paper addressing the importance of state policymakers rejecting K-12 school voucher plans.
- On the economy, we updated our chart book tracking the recovery from the pandemic recession and our backgrounder on how many weeks of unemployment compensation are available per state.
