The first comprehensive map of the social safety net, public and
private, in the United States. Societies are often judged by how
they treat their most vulnerable members: the poor and near poor.
In the United States, this responsibility belongs not only to
governments, but also to charities, businesses, individuals, and
family members. Their combined efforts generate a social safety
net. In Who Cares, Christopher Howard offers the first
comprehensive map of the US social safety net. He chronicles how
different parts of American society talk about poverty-related
needs. And he shows what Americans do to provide basic levels of
income, food, housing, medical care, and daily care. Although the
US social safety net is extensive, major gaps remain, particularly
impacting Blacks, Hispanics, and individuals who are not employed
full-time. Drawing heavily upon evidence from the years right
before the Covid-19 pandemic, Howard demonstrates that these
problems persist even when the economy seems healthy. Who Cares
concludes with an initial assessment of how the social safety net
performed during the pandemic.
