Statement from Blue Star Families in Response to Executive Order for Advancing Economic Security for Military and Veteran Spouses, Caregivers and Survivors

Today, the Biden Administration announced the Executive Order for Advancing Economic Security for Military and Veteran Spouses, Caregivers and Survivors, representing a significant step in creating a more sustainable lifestyle for military families. This Executive Order promotes substantive changes that respond to the realities of military family life, including providing more robust childcare, more housing support and increased financial security. 

“Strong nations are built by strong military families,” said Kathy Roth-Douquet, Co-Founder and CEO of Blue Star Families,  “This historic Executive Order by the Biden Administration not only provides the transformative framework that families need to work, thrive, and live with dignity, but also serves as  a roadmap for communities and employers, equipping them with the vital resources to effectively support the pressing needs of service members and their families.”
