Why federal budget and tax policy matters to state and local funders?

States get about one-third of their revenue from the federal government — funds that help pay for health care, schools, housing, roads, childcare, job training, and a range of other programs. President Trump’s FY2020 budget includes massive cuts to state and local programs and services, shifting costs to the states and leaving policymakers with difficult choices about how to respond. Programs that support kids and families and help them afford the basics—like food assistance, Medicaid, housing, and education investments—are all at risk.
