SCAA On Child Poverty Reduction Recommendations

Three years ago, the state passed the Child Poverty Reduction Act to cut cutting New York’s child poverty rates in half by 2031. The Child Poverty Reduction Advisory Council recently released a series of recommendations that includes the expansion of public assistance benefits and the Empire State Child Credit. Kate Breslin of the Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy and a member of the Council discuss their recommendations with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
