First Focus on Children

Poverty/Housing: First Focus advocates for federal investments like the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit which lift millions of children and families out of poverty every year.

Tax/Budget: First Focus works to make sure children and families are the priority in federal policy and budget decisions.

Early Childhood: First Focus advocates for expanding critical early childhood programs like the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program and Head Start to support early childhood development in health and education.

SPARC: First Focus works with a network of over 45 state advocacy organizations to prevent child abuse and neglect because the choices made by federal policymakers shape state decisions.
