Strengthening & promoting cities as centers of opportunity, leadership, and governance

Helping Working Families Technical Assistance Project

In 2004, the YEF Institute provided technical assistance to six cities to help them design or enhance outreach strategies to connect working families to multiple state and federal benefits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit, food stamps, and the Children's Health Insurance Program.

These cities included:

  • Cleveland, Ohio;
  • Memphis, Tenn.;
  • Milwaukee, Wis.;
  • New Haven, Conn.;
  • Oakland, Calif.; and
  • Seattle, Wash.

To learn more about the Institute's efforts to help city leaders connect families with key state and federal benefits, contact Heidi Goldberg at (202) 626-3069 or goldberg@nlc.org.
