Prosperity Now, formerly CFED, releases an annual scorecard which is “a comprehensive resource featuring data on family financial health and policy recommendations to help put all U.S. households on a path to prosperity. The Scorecard equips advocates, policymakers and practitioners with national, state, and local data to jump-start a conversation about solutions and policies that put households on stronger financial footing across five issue areas: Financial Assets & Income, Businesses & Jobs, Homeownership & Housing, Health Care and Education.”
“Read our new reports to explore data that illustrates the day-to-day influence of the economy on the average American household. The Scorecard presents a long-lived truth that many Americans – especially people of color – remain vulnerable should the nation’s economy take a turn for the worse. This year’s Scorecard report features real stories from the community, in addition to over 70 key measures of financial health, to illustrate the financial realities of American households and provide strategic policy solutions for change.”
