The Maine Children’s Alliance advocates for sound public policies and promotes best practices to improve the lives of Maine children, youth, and families. In the first regular session of the 132nd Maine Legislature, MCA is committed to elevating the voices and interests of Maine children, youth, and families. Our priorities focus on important investments to improve the many systems of support children, youth, and families depend on for their health, safety, and well-being. Our state budget should sustain critical investments in a variety of supports and services that ensure children and their families have economic security, access to child care, food, and housing. Efforts should focus on strengthening children and families with the greatest needs.
Trends in demographic data represent both challenges and opportunities for Maine to achieve the goal of being a thriving place for all to live, work, and raise a family. With the oldest population in the nation, Maine faces the challenges of caring for older adults and meeting its current and future workforce needs. On the positive side, migration to Maine by people from out-of-state and shifts in racial representation are making Maine more diverse. By recognizing the trends in our population, we can better plan for the programs, services, and systems that will ensure greater long-term social and economic prosperity for all children, families, and our state in general.
