By the Numbers: Data on Key Programs for the Well-Being of Women, LGBTQI+ People, and Their Families
A data report providing updated statistics on key federal programs that support the well-being of women, LGBTQI+ individuals, and their families, highlighting trends, coverage gaps, and areas for policy improvement.
The metrics on federal programs such as Medicaid, SNAP, WIC, childcare subsidies, housing assistance, and unemployment insurance, disaggregated where possible by gender, sexual orientation, and family status.
It examines participation rates, funding levels, and service reach, emphasizing disparities affecting women and LGBTQI+ populations. The analysis identifies persistent barriers, including income inequality, limited access to benefits, and state-level policy differences, and underscores the importance of inclusive program design. The report calls for targeted investments, better data collection on sexual orientation and gender identity, and policy reforms to ensure equitable access to resources that support economic stability, health, and family well-being.
