A new policy brief from the Working Poor Families Project that focuses on how to best strengthen state systems to improve economic conditions for working poor families through a two-generation approach. The brief highlights efforts in a few key states, largely centered on state systems that support local efforts for coordinating, enhancing, and strengthening family-level services. The report concludes that a two-generation lens can help spotlight ways that state systems and policies can become more equitable and effective for adults and children.
