🍼The Child Tax Credit's Return on Investment💵

$3.6k per year for children under age 6 & $3k for older kids, paid in monthly installments.

@CpspPoverty found that for every $1 dollar spent on CTC, it returns $10 in economic benefits. (1/4)🧵

Extremely proud of the work my team at @ACSNYC has done to expand access to child care assistance for families across New York City. And we're still going! For more info and to apply, visit https://t.co/tGEmtuw3kF

This is a bright spot in the mayor's management report: More poor New Yorkers are receiving vouchers for child care.

[Bryce Covert @brycecovert]

In 2021 the expanded Child Tax Credit lifted 5.3 million people out of poverty, making it the fourth most important anti-poverty policy. In 2022 it helped less than half that number. We found a solution to poverty and then let it disappear.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (DFL) explains why he rejected Republican lawmakers' attempts to means-test school meals for K-12 students:

"The haves and the have-nots in the school lunchroom is not a necessary thing. Just feed our children."

Beyond excited to announce the launch of MyCity! For the first time ever, NYC families will be able to apply for child care assistance online - a huge, barrier breaking improvement in access. Honored to be part of it and so proud of the multi-agency effort to build and launch!

NEW: Need childcare in New York City? There's a one-stop-shop for that: https://t.co/aPqIc8gnhz

The My City portal will become New Yorkers go-to for any city service, and today it launches with easy and integrated options for families needing childcare support.

new paper: the 2021 Child Tax Credit — which from July to Dec 2021 gave qualifying families up to $3,600 per child in auto monthly payments — not only appeared to “reduced child poverty by half” it also notably “improved the mental health of adults in the lowest-income families.”

Yesterday 70% of New Mexican voters made their state the first to constitutionally guarantee a right to early childhood education. The measure also creates a steady stream of funding that will propel the state toward universal childcare and preschool. https://t.co/WL0WONFe4Z
