Self-Sufficiency Standards for Virginia
 

How much money does it take for a family to live in Virginia? The Office on Youth would like to inform you of a new resource for answering that very question. There is now a helpful tool on the Voices for Virginia's Children website, http://www.vakids.org, that calculates the cost of living for 70 family types for each of Virginia's 134 localities. 
 

The Self-Sufficiency Standard, which documents the cost of living that families of various sizes must meet in order to live independently, is available under the Family Economic Success link. This tool is a new measure  of income adequacy for very minimum needs. It varies by family type, locality and children's ages. This is a very handy tool for working with families and we hope that you find it useful.
