@ctdata @unitedwaycwc @MayorCarolineCT @BPTGenNow @NorwalkACTS1 @KBDPHD Thank you for highlighting this important stat! #FairfieldCountyForward

@FCCFoundation @unitedwaycwc @MayorCarolineCT @BPTGenNow @NorwalkACTS1 Looking at both gender and race, Black women in #Connecticut were 7 times more likely than white men or white women to say that it is likely they will have to leave their homes in the next 2 months due to being behind on their rent or mortgage. @KBDPHD

Economic difficulty and food insecurity rose in #Connecticut in 2022, and remained higher in 2023. The end of the 2021 expanded #ChildTaxCredit, and rising housing and food costs, help explain this trend. Economic insecurity is higher among women and LGBTQ+ adults. #genderequity
