Income Support Programs: Localities Respond to Long-Term Economic Inequality and Systemic Disinvestment
This session was presented during BUILD 2022 National Conference.
Counties and cities have been on the frontline of responding to the pandemic and addressing not only public health needs but also the economic impact of COVID-19. Localities have given funds to child care programs, small businesses, and households and are centering equitable economic recovery in their American Rescue Plan investments. This panel will showcase the importance of making broad investments that support families’ success and improve outcomes for infants and toddlers. Hear from local leaders about how they have invested general and relief funds in economic supports and how they plan to sustain these efforts moving forward.
