Project Description

This project will assess the effectiveness of programs designed to enhance employment outcomes for current and former TANF recipients and other low-income parents who have demonstrated difficulty earning and sustaining employment. In addition to measuring programmatic effects on adults' employment and earnings, the project will evaluate family functioning, child well-being (from early childhood through adolescence), and two generation programs, which provide employment services to adults and direct services to children or youth. The project will also examine the issues and challenges in implementing and operating different approaches that promote employment among the hard-to-employ, the services included in such programs, how programs meet the needs of participants with multiple employment or family challenges, the primary sources of funding for various program models, and the benefits and costs of programs studied.
