An independent non-profit policy organization founded in 1981, the Center "conducts research and analysis to help shape public debates over proposed budget and tax policies and to help ensure that policymakers consider the needs of low-income families and individuals in these debates. . . . In addition, the Center examines the short- and long-term impacts of proposed policies on the health of the economy and the soundness of federal and state budgets." The site provides access to an extensive library of reports, testimony, video and podcasts organized by topic (e.g., food assistance, health, housing); word searching is also available.
