Big Cities Confront the New Politics of Child and Family Policy: Big Cities in the Welfare Transition (05/01/98)
|
Major efforts are urged to establish new protections for cities in the “newest” federalism that has resulted from changed policies and the devolution of public assistance programs from Washington to the states in the new legislation:
- protections for cities in terms of how states do or do not mandate responsibilities for which the cities are not supplied funding streams;
- mandated city inclusion in state welfare planning when federal funds are involved;
a fair sharing of child care resources and funds for job creation when federal funds are involved, and
- mandated state sharing of data about caseloads, clients, and programs for cities when service delivery is state controlled.
