NY: Report: Federal Support Vital to NY Families’ Economic Recovery (Includes audio)
Public News Service – June 25, 2021
New York is among the top 10 U.S. states for health among children, and the bottom ten for families’ overall economic wellbeing. Groups that advocate for kids say recovering from the pandemic will require more help for their families. Rates of New York kids living in poverty improved only slightly before the pandemic, from 21% in 2010 to 18% in 2019. Boissiere emphasized children who grow up in poverty have worse health outcomes, and thinks the expanded Child Tax Credit under the American Rescue Plan should be made permanent.
