Let’s make it permanent

Note that this is the impact from the whole bill. You'll hear us talk about a 45 percent drop, but that refers to the impact of the CTC only.

Here here Leslye!

Suggestion on poverty reduction chart; call it American Rescue instead of American Relief, for consistency.

Thanks Jos. That’s real helpful.

Thanks, Roger. That is a slide from Columbia U, not one we created.

How will governors distribute the $ fairly throughout their state

This is a tax credit, so workers would receive it when they file their taxes.

Does Romney’s plan get rid of other social safety net programs to pay for the expansion?

stay tuned!

Does Romney's cost more because it benefits the wealthy more?

Thanks!

The amounts are higher for younger kids than the Biden plan and it indexes it for inflation

That increases the cost

Why do you prefer Romney’s/

Does the difference between 3600 and 4200 make up for the elimination of TANF?

Anything we can address about benefits to other vulnerable folks, the aged? People with difficulty remaining employed?

There are other places to take the funds from, rather than other anti-poverty plans....

Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVtJ--1YccQ

As we are trying to make the tax cuts permanent, can you clarify how the ARP will adjust for inflation? In Romney’s plan it covers for inflation up to $1,250

Thank you for this historical context on this Meredith!

Redlining

How? Where? can we read the backgrounder?

Karyn, based on that slide, it does not look like APRA indexes for inflation.

How do CTC/EITC affect access to Medicaid, SNAP, etc.? Do people gain more than they lose if they lose any?

Here is the backgrounder Funke did back in 2018 on tax and racial wealth inequality: https://results.org/wp-content/uploads/2018_US_Poverty_Conference_Background_Packet-HousingTax_and_Racial_Wealth_Divide.docx

FSS? Seems like a helpful program?

Ann, it depends on the state. States have flexibility in setting eligibility for other programs. Typically, the EITC and CTC would not impact it but likely not universal.

Do the homeless fall into the extremely low income renter category?

Do we actually know the potential cost of universal housing vouchers, if 3 out of 4 aren't currently receive them?

Tim, ball park ~ $80-100 billion

Thanks

What if rents charged go up based on increase in assistance?

NLIHC Gap Report: https://reports.nlihc.org/gap

Constance, great question and the reason why it is so important to increase supply. More available units will keep rents down.

Plus, an expanded pool of renters with assistance could serve as an incentive for developers to build more.

In our meetings with Republican members of congress who are typically opposed to “big” packages like the ARA, should we ask how they feel about the CTC and if they would be in favor of a stand alone bill on just that topic?

We are hoping to get expansion of Housing Choice Vouchers. What about the issue of landlords who do not accept HCVs (recent New York Times article)?

Having a meeting with Sen. Young’s tax aide tomorrow is why I ask.

isn't Romney also proposing cutss or changes to Soc. Sec. and Medicare to pay for his plan?

Thank you!

If it is a tax credit, does that mean that the credit is applied to tax payment before balance is refundable?

Yes

But most of these families have little or no federal income tax liability.

The cost for child allowance very large, because they go to solidly middle class as well as lower income. Couldn't an eligibility ceiling b e significantly more affordable for tqxpayer

How many people who are eligible for tax credits claim them?

I’m with you Roger

Plug into your local orgs who help low wage workers

Landlords are not allowed to discriminate based on race, but there is no policy against refusing to accept certain forms of payment. Since renters using vouchers are disproportionately minorities they can be used as a form of discrimination. Just fyi.

And LBTQI

I would recommend putting that chart about the poverty reduction with voucher expansion. Fantastic

12 states and 100 cities have passed legislation against source of income discrimination

That's great to hear, seems like a good cause to think about.

Do we stay on for the TB discussion

is this slide deck available now?

Thanks, so much, for this presentation.

Thanks so much!

Thanks Meredith and all

Thank you!

I want to use it tomorrow

Thanks y’all
