## Summary

**Ending child poverty** would be the central goal, with a national reduction target and a wide policy agenda to expand supports for children's nutrition, health, housing, and learning. It would prioritize cash supports, universal early childhood care, and equal access for immigrant families and territories. - Families and children: It would push for investments like the 2021 Child Tax Credit expansion that cut poverty, noting over 9.7 million children lived in poverty in 2024 and that lapses in federal supports pushed about 4.0 million children back into poverty. - Young children and the early childhood workforce: It would back universal access to high-quality, affordable child care, pre-K, Head Start, and Early Head Start in mixed delivery systems to support development and parental employment. - Students and K–12 systems: It would call for guaranteed access to safe, high-quality public education and more resources for students with disabilities. - Immigrant families and territories: It would urge removing barriers and expanding eligibility so nonfilers, immigrant households, and Puerto Rico residents can better access antipoverty programs. - Homeless and foster-youth supports: It highlights links between poverty, homelessness, and foster care, citing 1.37 million public school students experiencing homelessness in 2022–2023 and higher risks for youth aging out of foster care.
