Rockefeller Institute of Government Community development corporations (CDCs) have built an estimated 500,000 units of housing through 1996, and are responsible for approximately one-third of all affordable housing produced nationwide. Since a sizable proportion of these units house recipients of public assistance, CDCs may well be affected by the profound changes in social policy occurring in the wake of the Personal Responsibility Act. The Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government's Urban and Metropolitan Studies program has joined with the Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy, New York University School of Law, to examine and report on early impacts of welfare reform on selected CDCs. With support from the Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Cleveland Foundation and the Minneapolis Foundation, the study comprises two layers of analysis: (1) field research conducted among a sample of four CDCs in each of six cities - Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland, Minneapolis, New York City and San Francisco; and (2) contextual research on linkages between welfare and housing policy at the state-level gathered through an existing, 20-state field network studying implementation of welfare reform.

Current Situation Frequently Asked Questions Publications Other Information ... Home Page Welfare Reform HOUSING AND RELATED ENVIRONMENTAL TOPICS Extension housing and related environmental programs help individuals and families develop skills and gain information in securing adequate affordable housing. The programs teach individuals and families what to look for in selecting safe housing, how to secure such housing, and how to maintain housing. For families to continue down the path to self-sufficiency, they need to develop a secure environment in which to maintain their family structure. Extension housing programs which focus on securing an adequate environment in which to live provide a base from which families will move from dependency on existing resources to their own self-sufficiency. The programming which the Cooperative Extension System has based its premise on is to start with individuals and families at whatever their present point in the life cycle and help them understand the choices which are available to them and their dependents. The Cooperative Extension System has taught families how to select and manage their living environments for more than eighty years. Traditionally, this outreach has been directly with families where they live and work. Today, however, Extension educational outreach includes training volunteers, paraprofessionals, and agency personnel to work with families in learning to more effectively manage their resources. This train-the trainer approach, along with quality educational materials, is a valuable asset in reaching families with the housing information they need.

National Alliance to End Homelessness Housing Groups' Proposals to Improve TANF Print-ready version (PDF) also available The following is endorsed by the Coalition on Human Needs, Corporation for Supportive Housing, Council of State Community Development Agencies, Enterprise Foundation, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, McAuley Institute, LISC, National Alliance to End Homelessness, National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials, National Community Development Association, National Housing Law Project, National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty, National League of Cities, National Low Income Housing Coalition, NETWORK, and Volunteers of America. As Congress prepares to reauthorize the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant program, stable, affordable housing must be a critical focus. The first purpose of TANF is to "provide assistance to needy families so that children may be cared for in their homes or in the homes of relatives," yet the TANF program fails to address the critical housing needs of the most vulnerable families. Research demonstrates that low-income families with access to affordable housing are more likely to successfully transition to improved economic well-being.

We applaud the administration and Congress for embracing a goal of ending chronic homelessness and for their efforts to make it a reality. This is an important step forward in solving homelessness in our nation. We believe we can make similar progress in ending homelessness among children in families. TANF reauthorization provides an important opportunity to do so. Nationally, it is estimated that 900,000 to 1.3 million children in the United States experience homelessness each year. The U.S. Conference of Mayors reports an increase in demand for shelter for families with children in many communities across the country. They further report that the high cost of housing in many communities is leading to increases in the length of time families remain in shelters before returning to independent, permanent housing. While many of the families experiencing homelessness have one or more wage earners, virtually all are financially eligible for TANF cash assistance and/or support services.

CONTACT Principles for Welfare Reform: Block Grants View as PDF Get Adobe Reader National Center for Policy Analysis BRIEF ANALYSIS No. 161 For immediate release: Monday, April 24, 1995 Principles for Welfare Reform: Block Grants The House of Representatives has voted to take funds currently spent on Aid to Families With Dependent Children (AFDC), child nutrition and a few other programs and return the money to the states in the form of "block grants." House Republicans are also considering a block grant for Medicaid. Senate Republicans indicate they may call that idea and raise, with a super block grant that includes food stamps, job training and most of the remaining federal welfare programs. All told, there are 338 means-tested federal programs spending about $240 billion a year. State governments put up about $1 of matching money for every $2 from the federal government. So in principle the federal government is considering handing over to state and local governments as much as $350 billion a year - an amount roughly equal to $3,500 for every household in America. The goals of these reforms are laudable: transferring power back to the people and allowing local communities to find workable solutions to a welfare system that is a dismal failure. Yet serious questions remain. How much should go to each state? Should restrictions be attached? What promises should be made for future years? Let's take a look.

Home Issues Economic Justice Email this page Statement to the United Nations Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination U.S. Welfare Policy Disproportionately Impacts Women of Color and Immigrant Women Legislation signed by President Clinton on August 22, 1996, familiarly known as welfare reform, radically altered the quality of the social safety net for poor women and their families. Welfare reform ended a 60-year history of U.S. social welfare policy that entitled poor families to a cash grant and other assistance based on their financial need. Nominally, welfare reform is a race-neutral policy. Women of color and immigrant women have nonetheless been particularly hard hit by the new policy. Welfare reform was passed in a time of unprecedented prosperity in the U.S. but the benefits of a booming economy have not been extended to those women and families most in need. Instead, many women have become part of a large and growing pool of workers whose labor brings them poverty level wages, few benefits and no security. Others have disappeared or been driven from the welfare system but have no job-related income. For many families, welfare reform has made it more rather than less likely that they will face unconscionable hardships. Research reports have repeatedly found that women face difficulties and crises related to:

As with other government initiatives, not a word was said about these plans throughout the recent federal election campaign. A cabinet briefing note advocates using Aboriginal people to establish precedents for general use against the entire population. This will not be the first time that indigenous people have been targetted to lay the groundwork for previously unthinkable social measures. After more than two centuries of dispossession, violence and forced family separation, Aboriginal people already suffer some of the worst death rates and levels of ill-health, poor nutrition, substandard housing, illiteracy and imprisonment in the world. Now they will be denied the basic right to social assistance. Under the proposals, parents will be obliged to ensure that children attend school and have regular health checks in exchange for parenting, rent assistance and other family payments. Those who fail to abide by such behavioural contracts will suffer sanctions that will only worsen their situation. Public housing tenants will even be punished by being denied repair work on their homes if their children do not go to school regularly.

But what strategies has it sought to use? And how successful has it been? RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIIES The New Labour project for reforming welfare had several elements. First, there was a recognition of the importance of work, and coupled with that, a fear that people permanently without work would sink into an "underclass" where it would be difficult to escape. Secondly, there was an acceptance that fraud was widespread and needed to be tackled, and that to some extent the existing welfare system created perverse incentives that encouraged cheating. Thirdly, there was the firm belief that welfare benefits should to be targeted to those who needed them most, and that universal benefits - like the state pension - were too expensive to be sustainable in the long-run. Finally, and most fundamentally, there was a belief that any rights or entitlements to benefits had to be accompanied by responsibilities - especially to seek work or training.

The Act marks a watershed of welfare reform. For the first time since the New Deal, Congress eliminated the federal guarantee of minimal cash benefits to poor families with children. The Act imposes a time limit on federal welfare benefits, reduces food stamp allotments, restricts aid to children with disabilities, and eliminates substantial benefits for legal aliens. The Act changes welfare law in at least seven major areas. In brief, the new law:

These inequalities are most obvious in the growing disparity in wealth and quality of life between the richest and poorest within Australian society. Welfare policy is an extension of governments' responsibility to ensure that all Australians have equal access to this wealth, and wealth be redistributed between the richest and the poorest. The Greens (WA) believe that everyone has the right to a satisfactory standard of living.
