The Bootstrap project was developed as a supplement to the existing Texas Fragile Families Initiative (TFF), a program that helped organizations around the state increase their capacity to serve young, low-income fathers.
Bootstrap provided enhanced services to fathers so they could develop the necessary resources to become responsible parents who met the needs of their children. Specifically, it aimed to enhance the ability of low-income fathers to pay child support by providing them with a cash stipend to participate in job skills training. The program began in July 2000 and ended in May 2003.
