| Program/Policy Description |
The Hudson Institute in partnership with Mathematica
Policy Research, Inc. conducted an in-depth survey of low-income families in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. To understand the conversion process from AFDC to
Wisconsin Works (W-2), the state's TANF program, Hudson and MPR surveyed 296
randomly-selected families in Milwaukee who were on AFDC the month before
W-2 was implemented. We asked respondents about the conversion process and
about how they were faring the month before the survey interview (roughly a
year after W-2 implementation).

| Notes |
Full report, executive summary and survey instrument are
available on the Hudson Institute's Welfare Policy Center's Website
www.welfarereformer.org
Please note that this is not a leaver's study. It is a study of former AFDC
recipients - some converted to W-2, some began working or receiving another
form of government assistance, and some pursued different strategies.
