Would expanding the earned income tax credit to include individuals who were homeless and now are working individuals who age out of being a dependent child, would that essentially do some of the same thing?

For years, structural racism has led to much higher rates of child poverty among children of color, especially Black children.
My goal is preservation for those truly in need, and recognize that sometimes our neighbors in need require a helping hand.
I am particularly grateful for the work Vicki did with me and other Members of Congress to help incarcerated parents and non-custodial parents.
It is shameful, quite frankly, that this Congress is not taking strong, immediate action to end poverty, using policies proven to work.
