| Program/Policy Description |
The goals of this collaborative project are: to make public the complex
issues facing low-income families as they lose welfare benefits, to consider the far-reaching
community impact of terminating public support to families with children in Massachusetts and
throughout the nation, and to build local knowledge about welfare reform. The project team
will analyze strategies for survival, identify challenges to employment, document the outlook
of those who are losing welfare benefits, and explore the effects on neighbors and communities.
The study will publicize the unfolding experiences of women, families, and communities as they
face welfare reform.
