"Affordability" has become the political buzzword du jour, but rhetoric doesn’t help working families. Lawmakers who want to actually lower costs should take a look at FREOPP's years-long track record of advocating for affordability. freopp.org/newsletter/aff…

Our mission is to expand economic opportunity to those who least have it, including children. In particular, children in foster care often have little control over what happens to them, but federal policy can ensure they have resources waiting when they need them most.

Social connection functions as a resource, and those with fewer financial resources often have fewer social resources as well. New FREOPP research examines what policymakers can do to help foster connection, especially for low-income Americans.
