An On Ramp to Opportunity

Representative
Dwight Evans, Pennsylvania State House of Representatives
Providing avenues of opportunity is at the core of the mission
of Community Action Agencies. The federal earned income tax credit
(EITC) is an immediate and effective way to assist the low-income.
During the last legislative cycle State Representative Dwight
Evans (D-Philadelphia) introduced HB1997 that would establish
a state-based EITC. Representative Evans will share his vision
for reintroducing this legislation and the positive effects it
has to assist in the move to self-sufficiency.
