Center for Urban Families Community Conversation Series
The Earned Income Tax Credit
March 16, 2009, 10-2pm

As you may know, the Center for Urban Families regularly uses the data gathered through its program assessments to inform legislators and other influential leaders about the impact of larger policy decisions on the low income, urban communities that we serve. Through its Community Conversations Series, the organization galvanizes practitioners, policy makers, researchers, community leaders and concerned citizens around public policy issues of particular impact for and interest to our client base. Hosted on average 2-4 times a year, the goal of each conversation is not only to provide a forum for the sharing of diverse perspectives on issues of relevance to our local communities, but to also document a collective response to inform larger plans for the development of viable solutions, collective action and progress.
