Following this year’s midterm elections, 21 states are set to welcome new governors. At a time when affordability is top of mind for Americans, these new administrations have an opportunity to bring fresh ideas to the challenges families face every day.

We worked with the Alliance for Opportunity to develop its “Governor’s Roadmap,” which offers 10 research-backed, ready-to-implement executive orders designed to help residents thrive. The orders outline practical ways governors can expand upward mobility by improving pathways to work, making housing more affordable, ensure child safety and permanence, and strengthening the social safety net.

These policies are ready today to bring more opportunity to those who need it most.
