Extractions: One area of concern that has arisen with the passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunities Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996 is the potential for racial disparities in the implementation of the law. Around the country some researchers have begun to look into this question, but the focused work on racial disparities is still in the early stages. Susan Gooden, Ph.D. of the Center for Public Administration and Policy (CPAP) of Virginia Tech studied 223 female welfare recipients in the Culpeper region of Virginia on various dimensions of employment status and found among other things that, "In general, blacks earn less than whites, are less likely to be employed full time and are over-represented in lower paying occupations."

COLLABORATIVE FUND FOR WOMEN'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT The Collaborative Fund for Women's Economic Development provides crucial support to organizations across the country that help low-income women start and expand microenterprises and cooperative businesses. By linking these businesses with lucrative local, regional, and national markets, the Fund facilitates the flow of much needed capital into low-income communities and creates an important means of women's economic self-sufficiency. Since the creation of the collaborative fund in 1990, the Ms. Foundation has partnered with 28 institutions and individuals to leverage $5.5 million in two rounds of the fund to support grantmaking, technical assistance and learning in women's enterprise development. We are now beginning to capitalize a third round and are working with donor partners to craft the fund's direction for the new millennium. The following is a list of grants made in fiscal year 1999. WELFARE REFORM MINI-GRANTS Since 1996, when control of welfare funds shifted from the national to the state level, Ms. Foundation grantees have been on the front lines ensuring that low-income women and girls were not forgotten in the design of state welfare reform legislation. To support their efforts, Collaborative Fund donor partners capitalized a fund to give mini-grants to existing grantees engaged in state-level advocacy work, and to provide them with targeted training and technical assistance to enhance their work. These mini-grants had far-reaching effects, including improving communication and mutual learning between groups working to create economic opportunities for low-income women and training women on welfare to advocate for themselves. The final welfare reform mini-grant was made in fiscal year 1999.

http://www.prb.org/Content/NavigationMenu/PRB/Journalists/PressReleases/Broader_

Extractions: PRB Websites (June 10, 2002) With the 1996 welfare reform bill up for review this year, a new report highlights a growing call for the legislation's next phase to include specific provisions for reducing poverty. Poverty reduction was not among the stated purposes of the welfare reform bill, whose major goal was to promote work and reduce welfare caseloads, especially among single mothers. As measured by the reduction in caseloads, welfare reform has been a big success. The number of families receiving welfare declined by more than 50 percent between 1994 and 2000, while the percentage of families receiving cash assistance is lower than it has been since 1960. However, a new report by the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) points out that while people who work are less likely to be poor, employment does not necessarily shield them from poverty.

http://www.welfareinfo.org/contractissue.htm

Extractions: Vol. 2, No. 13 November 1998 Managing the Contracting Process for Results in Welfare Reform by Jessica Yates Background Welfare and workforce development agencies in many states and localities have considerable experience in contracting out for human services and Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) programs. However, the landscape of welfare contracting has changed considerably in the past two years. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 opened the door for contracting out eligibility determination for recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). In addition, some states have made their workforce development agencies responsible for welfare-related employment services, and many of those agencies added welfare-to-work contracts to their existing operations contracting for JTPA programs. Those factors, along with freezes in public sector hiring in some states and a growing acceptance of privatization politically, have led to an expansion in contracting for welfare related services. Some state and local agencies are awarding substantive and politically sensitive contracts that include TANF eligibility determination and case management.

http://www.heritage.org/Press/Commentary/ed020403.cfm

Extractions: The 1996 welfare reforms comprised the boldest social policy reform over the last 60 years. Millions of people moved off the government dole and achieved self-sufficiency. Unfortunately, those reforms excluded a rather large segment of society that still considers itself too vulnerable to survive on its own, and stubbornly resists subjecting itself to sink-or-swim capitalism: Corporations. The federal governments top two priorities are fully funding national security, and reducing the high tax burden that is currently weighing down the economy. Addressing those priorities without expanding the budget deficit requires eliminating unnecessary and wasteful spending elsewhere. It requires eliminating corporate welfare. The Advanced Technology Program (ATP) represents a typical corporate welfare program. Back in the late 1980s, America had a brief fixation with the Japanese economic miracle. Believing that Japans system of government subsidies and protections to preferred businesses was the Next Big Thing, America created ATP to fund private research projects and bring them to the market.
