In Case You Missed It . . .
This week at CBPP, we focused on housing, poverty and inequality, and state budgets and taxes.
- On housing, Anna Bailey, Peggy Bailey, and Erik Gartland described how policymakers can solve homelessness by scaling up rental assistance and supportive services.
- On poverty and inequality, Danilo Trisi explained how the expiration of pandemic relief led to record increases in poverty in 2022.
- On state budgets and taxes, we updated our state tax cuts tracker with an entry on Kentucky’s failed plan to eliminate income tax.
