Policy resources — The Kitchen Table Project

Policy Actions One Pager

Household Budget

A detailed infographic titled 'It has gotten harder to afford the basics over the last year and a half,' showing increased monthly costs for families over 18 months with a table of expenses from January 2025 and 2026, including rent, healthcare, daycare, groceries, utilities, gas, car payments, and school supplies, along with a sticky note listing grocery prices and a line of text about the impact of rising costs. The bottom includes questions about potential emergencies and major expenses with linked cost estimates, a website URL, and a note about a policy pop-up.

National Survey Results

Additional policy resources coming soon

We’re working on a policy playbook focused on rising costs across the household budget, including healthcare, groceries, electricity, and housing.

In our effort to find the best solutions, we’re asking:

What are the root causes of high prices?
What are the biggest pain points that people are feeling?
What solutions would be most meaningful for American families?

We’ll release our work throughout the summer, so check back here for updates soon.
