This week at CBPP, we focused on housing, the federal budget, health, and the economy.
* On housing, Alicia Mazzara noted ([link removed]) that the gap between median renter income and median rent widened in 2018.

* On the federal budget, Chad Stone recommended ([link removed]) putting deficit and debt concerns aside when it’s time to fight a recession. Richard Kogan updated ([link removed]) a report on a Senate appropriations bill that would shortchange human services programs despite room for increases in the recent budget deal.

* On health, Hannah Katch, Judith Solomon, and Aviva Aron-Dine pointed out ([link removed]) that a Tennessee block grant proposal threatens access to care for Medicaid beneficiaries.

* We updated ([link removed]) our chart book tracking the post-Great Recession economy.
