Economic Supports
Economic supports — made available with public resources, as well as nonprofit and private resources — provide important scaffold for parents as they pursue skill-building and education that lead to better jobs and longer-term financial stability. Economic supports include — but are not limited to — housing, transportation, financial education and asset-building, tax credits, child care subsidies, student financial aid, health insurance, and food assistance.
Economic supports are a key component of two-generation approaches, but their impact is amplified when they are linked to both Education and Social Capital.
