The decision to prioritize larger families in public assistance allocation is based on the principle that households with more members typically have greater financial burdens and resource needs. Larger families face higher costs for basic necessities like food, housing, clothing, and healthcare, which can strain limited budgets more severely than smaller households. By directing assistance to larger families, we can maximize the positive impact per dollar spent, as these funds will support more individuals who may be vulnerable. This approach aligns with equity-based distribution models that consider household composition as a key factor in determining need levels.
