More on Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
Description from Wikipedia:
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) is a non-profit think tank which describes itself as a "policy organization ... working at the federal and state levels on fiscal policy and public programs that affect low- and moderate-income families and individuals."
The Center examines the short- and long-term impacts of proposed budget and tax policies on the economy, on federal and state budgets, and on households in different income groups. It also examines whether federal and state governments are addressing critical priorities, both for low- and moderate-income Americans and for the population as a whole, and whether they have sufficient revenues to do so.
In addition, the Center identifies and promotes effective approaches to reducing poverty. Specifically, it designs measures to make key programs for low- and moderate-income populations more accessible to eligible recipients, more effective in helping them meet their basic needs while moving toward self-sufficiency, and simpler for federal and state governments to administer.
Moreover, the Center analyzes trends in poverty and income at the national and state levels, including trends in income inequality.
The Center works on issues related to and including:
The Center runs an outreach campaign that — working with thousands of organizations across the country, including community groups, businesses, unions, and government agencies — helps eligible families apply for the EITC and the Child Tax Credit.
