Dear colleagues:
The COVID-19 pandemic has created new uncertainties for families. With the release of stimulus assistance from the American Rescue Plan (ARP) and other bills, however, families with low incomes are able to access new or expanded supports that may provide them with a chance at economic recovery, or new options for longer-term economic mobility. Human service program leaders and their staff can help families access these critical supports for which they are eligible and encourage families to file 2020 taxes or enroll in the Child Tax Credit program to receive available credits. This new brief from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services highlights important new opportunities for both parents and children with low incomes to begin to recover from the pandemic and become economically mobile, including:
- Monthly Child Tax Credit
- Stimulus Checks
- Child Care Expenses and Early Childhood Development
- Pandemic Emergency Assistance Fund (PEAF)
- Health Care
- Unemployment Benefits
- Food and Nutrition
- Rental Assistance
- Energy and Water Assistance
Best regards,
Christina Dukes
