Wendy Edelberg from The Hamilton Project at Brookings; Bradley Hardy of Georgetown University; and Zachary Parolin, Bocconi University, will discuss the challenges faced by low-income households during COVID-19, how the federal government achieved a record-low poverty rate in 2020 and again in 2021, and what lessons ought to be carried forward from those experiences.
