As part of our 2026 legislative initiative, The Policy Project invites you to our Policy Solutions Forum focused on family support.

Rising living costs are making it increasingly difficult for Utahns to raise families. Many young people are delaying starting their own families, while parents often face the difficult choice between working and paying for child care. Some families wish a parent could stay home but cannot afford it, while others need both parents to work yet struggle to find quality, affordable child care.

The Policy Project is exploring practical solutions to help families navigate these challenges, make the choices that work best for them, and ensure a strong future for Utah.

What to expect at the Policy Solutions Forum:

• Light breakfast

• Overview of the issue in Utah

• Real stories from Utahns experiencing these challenges firsthand

• Panel discussion with Utah legislators on opportunities to better support families with young children

We hope you’ll join us for this important conversation and partner with us in crafting practical solutions! For any questions about the event, please reach out to jayden@thepolicyproject.org.
