The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities analyzes federal and state budget and tax policies with the goal of reducing poverty and inequality while promoting fiscally responsible, equitable solutions. Over nearly four decades, CBPP has built deep expertise in budget and tax issues and in programs affecting low-income people, using that knowledge to inform public debates and influence policy results. Based in Washington, DC, CBPP operates as a public policy research organization focused on how budgetary choices affect low-income communities. The organization documents and communicates findings to support policy decisions aimed at improving outcomes for those with limited means. In 2026, CBPP launched a tracker to monitor food assistance coverage in the United States, illustrating its ongoing effort to provide timely, policy-relevant information.
