Over the last few weeks,
MassBudget has completed a number of different projects...
-
Are free and reduced-price school meals
getting to all the kids who need them? That's the question that motivated Breakfast and Lunch Participation in Massachusetts
Schools--part of a joint project involving MassBudget, the Center for Social
Policy at UMass Boston, and the
Mass Law Reform Institute, supported by the EOS foundation. Our online
chartpack summarizes the major findings.
-
A complete
diagram of the food assistance programs in Massachusetts shows: who
is eligible for them, who runs them, where they get their funding, and how
people can gain access.
-
-
In a brief
analysis of funding for children through the Department of Children
and Families, we found a significant cut over the last four years--amounting to
roughly $130 million.
The Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center (MassBudget)
produces policy research, analysis, and data-driven recommendations focused on
improving the lives of low- and middle-income children and adults, strengthening
our state's economy, and enhancing the quality of life in Massachusetts. |
