Virtual Event: Updating the True Cost of Economic Security: What It Takes to Thrive in the US – Mar 17

Posted by Urban Institute on March 17, 2026

Affordability has become a central issue for millions of Americans striving to get by and get ahead. Building on previous work, Urban Institute researchers have updated and enhanced the True Cost of Economic Security measure for 2023. This comprehensive measure captures the full range of household costs and the resources families rely on.

Please join the Urban Institute and the National True Cost of Living Coalition, a partnership between the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies and the Community Service Society of New York, for a discussion on the updated measure and how policymakers and researchers can leverage insights from this research to improve American families’ well-being.
