To promote a better understanding of safety-net policies, and its impact on families across the state, the Louisiana Budget Project has developed new fact sheets with detailed data for every parish.  The fact sheets include information about income, education levels and racial breakdown of each district, and the use of various federal and state programs such as TOPS, GO Grants and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The fact sheets are intended for use by state policymakers, the news media, advocates and ordinary citizens. The fact sheets are drawn from state and national data sources with the intention of creating easy access to district-level information during legislative and administrative decision-making processes.
