One third of Hispanic children are growing up in families only slightly above the poverty level. In our new blog post, we look at how these near-poor Latino families fare at tax time and, in particular, how they may benefit from the Earned Income Tax Credit and how that benefit changes as their income increases. Read it now.

Have you seen our new tools? These two, free, web-based, interactive data tools allow users to unpack the early care and education (ECE) utilization, preferences, priorities, and search and decision-making among Hispanic families, separately for a broad variety of national data sets.

The first, Families’ Utilization of ECE, allows users to see which national surveys include questions about number of arrangements, provider type, financial assistance, and more.

The next, ECE Search and Decision Making, enables users to see which national surveys include questions about variables of interest, such as satisfaction with options, access barriers, difficulty of ECE search, and more.
