Increasing Women’s Income and Assets

increased income,
debt reduction,
credit repair

Influencing Legislative and/or Policy Change

advocacy campaigns that educate decision-makers on the importance of the expansion of TANF funds
pay equity that ensures comparable pay for all jobs
comprehensive sex education that is evidence-based and age-appropriate
a two-generation approach to policy advocacy that links early care and education for children with workforce development services
