CLASP is pleased to see the progress the Biden-Harris Administration has been making since the inauguration last week, signing numerous executive orders and proposing legislative responses. Several of the administration’s responses include policy recommendations contained in ten papers that CLASP prepared for the Biden-Harris transition teams and newly entering officials. Our agenda focuses on supporting people with low incomes and advancing racial equity as a priority, and they reflect throughout a commitment to both immediate action and larger reform. Also, in two new blogs, CLASP responded to the administration’s early actions to address poverty, hunger, and health care needs by removing barriers to programs and increasing access to health care insurance.
