Connecticut Voices for Children released a new report, “Connecticut’s 2022 Tax Incidence Report: A High-Level Overview and Comparison to the 2014 Report,” which is a response to the State of Connecticut Department of Revenue Services’ new, statutorily required tax incidence report. 

Connecticut Voices for Children released a new report, “Rising Out of Recession: How Connecticut Can Support Young Adults Transitioning Out of the Child Welfare System in Challenging Economic Times,” which examines the obstacles in employment, education, and housing faced by young adults transition out of the child welfare system; the supports made available to help them achieve independent living; gaps that exist and that have been potentially exacerbated by the current pandemic; and model policies and programs from other states. We also provide six recommendations on how Connecticut policymakers can support transition-age youth in foster care and former foster youth to live securely and independently. This report is being published in conjunction with our 10th Youth At the Capitol Day (YACD) event.

Connecticut Voices for Children released a new report, “The Case For The Connecticut Child Tax Credit,” which provides a detailed overview of why creating a state-level child tax credit (CTC) will make the tax system fairer for families as well as contribute to economic growth. Additionally, we include an array of options for implementation—inclusive of providing a Connecticut CTC in monthly payments—as well as options for funding. This report is a companion piece to our report entitled, “Steps To A Fairer Tax System: Proposals for Tax Reform, Transparency, and Timely Support,” which was published last month.
