Government Programs Help Kids and Families in Tough Economic Times

The Schuyler Center for Advocacy and Analysis has released a publication highlighting the damaging impact of poverty on children.

This publication explains how children are disproportionately affected poverty and underscores the importance of government programs that have helped significantly to prevent and alleviate poverty during the recession.
