According to analysis by our partners at @SchuylerCenter, increasing the Empire State Child Credit from $300 per eligible child to $4,200 for all children would reduce child poverty by 50% in New York State. #UnitedForALICE #ALICE518
Due to the high cost of childcare, families with children are far more likely to live below the ALICE threshold. #UnitedForALICE #ALICE518
