| Program/Policy Description | This project will study the status and characteristics of persons who have left the TANF program. The project is based on two administrative databases: a comprehensive statewide collection of administrative data from health and human services programs, employment and training programs and wage records maintained by the University of Missouri, and a database of non-profit emergency assistance (homeless, food bank, etc.) in metropolitan Kansas City created by the Mid-America Assistance Council, a consortium of non-profit agencies using shared forms and intake procedures. These existing databases will be linked to each other and to a two-cohort survey of TANF leavers by the Midwest Research Institute. |
