[Prenatal-to-3 Policy Impact Center @pn3policy]

Opportunity gaps among young children exist across the country and can negatively impact #earlydevelopment, but states have policy tools to close them:

✅Paid family leave
✅Medicaid
✅SNAP
✅EITCs

The latest @theNASEM report recommends more solutions.

A hunger cliff is here. It is urgent that the 2023 #FarmBill protects and strengthens SNAP. Everyone should have access to the food they need. Hungry people can’t wait. #SNAPMatters https://t.co/9KR0vyLQlP

Children living in subsidized housing are more likely to attend schools with more economic and racial segregation. @Housing360

Policymakers could consider:
🏘️ Creating subsidized housing in a larger variety of communities
🏫 Adjusting district boundaries
