Strengthening the Foundations of a Thriving Economy: Income and Poverty

This webinar will be held on Monday, May 13, 2024, from 11:00am to 12:00pm.

Despite New Hampshire having the lowest poverty rate among the 50 U.S. states as measured by the Official Poverty Measure, high housing costs and other living expenses indicate more hardships and financial insecurity for Granite Staters near the federal poverty threshold. NHFPI will share the latest information on income, poverty, and cost of living across New Hampshire, highlighting key challenges to household budgets and the effects of taxes on household finances. Panelists will review how federally-funded public services and supports helped Granite Staters during the pandemic, and what we can learn from those policies.
