The Federal Budget is a moral document outlining what we as a nation choose to invest in, and these investments will affect individuals and communities across the country. The Coalition on Human Needs believes that these investments should focus on priorities that bring about shared and broad prosperity such as investing in education, health care, housing, financial security, and tax justice.

To help advocates navigate this topic and stay up to date on the latest developments, the Coalition on Human Needs has created this resource library. This library will have official documents, research and analysis, fact sheets, and actions you and your supporters can take to advocate for a responsible federal budget that invests in human needs.

With this information at your fingertips, we hope to empower advocates to develop effective messaging, and stay informed about the latest policy developments. Whether advocating for increased funding for a specific program or pushing for broader changes to the budget process, hopefully this resource library has information that you can use. If you are looking for more state and local-specific data, please check out our State and Local Data Resource Library.
