CBPP's Brendan Duke posted a thread to X on House Labor-HHS funding cuts that could undermine health care affordability, education funding, and workforce development programs. x.com/Brendan_Duke...
Georgia's new tax cuts created a large revenue shortfall that prompted cuts to programs and services, while providing much larger tax benefits to the state's highest-income households. www.cbpp.org/research/sta...
Severe housing affordability problems are overwhelmingly concentrated among the lowest-income people. Expanding supply won’t be enough to enable them to afford stable housing. They also need access to rental assistance to help pay the rent each month. www.cbpp.org/research/hou...
Building more housing won’t enable the lowest-income renters to afford housing unless they also receive rental assistance. These renters are mostly low-wage workers or seniors and disabled people with low fixed incomes. www.cbpp.org/research/hou...

Under H.R. 1, low-income people are losing food assistance at the fastest rate in decades — even as the economy hasn't improved & grocery prices are rising.

It took more than three years for SNAP participation to fall by 3 million people after the Great Recession. The current decline happened in just six months. Read more from Joseph Llobrera:
