First Focus

Economic insecurity in childhood can often lead to lifelong disadvantages, ranging from poor health to low achievement in school. Helping working families provide that security is essential to ensure that all children can fulfill their potential. First Focus is working to lift the more than 14 million underprivileged American children out of poverty by increasing the federal investment in economic supports. By fighting for tax reforms, improvements to the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families Program, and federal budgetary increases, we can make a dramatic difference in low-income family budgets, putting them on track to a more secure and prosperous future.
