Gasoline prices in New Hampshire have risen sharply in recent months, creating new financial pressure for many Granite State households already struggling with high housing, health care, and child care costs.

A new analysis from NHFPI’s Dow Drukker looks at recent changes to federal child tax credits and child care tax breaks and what they mean for Granite State families.
