Because the Episo Foundation assist families with children: We are deeply concerned about how low-to-middle (LMI) income families with children will be impacted. In part, per Brookings: " Overall, OBBBA will likely end up reducing benefits for roughly as many families as it helps, with the greatest losses concentrated among the least well-off. By 2030 the 40% lowest-income households will experience a net loss on average, and the middle quintile will have roughly no net change; there will be ongoing net gains for the top 40% of households . . . Similarly, "to support working families with children, the changes in OBBBA overwhelmingly help families that are already better off. After the temporary tax benefits end, roughly half of U.S. families will be worse off, with most benefits of the bill going to the top 40% of the income distribution."
According to recent (2023) data:
* Eleven (11) million children living in poverty will be
impacted; and
* Almost six million (5.5 million) children lives in extreme
poverty; and
* Three (3) million children under the age of five (5) makes
up the largest demographic living in poverty.
Children are our future . . . .
