Up from Dependency - A New National Public Assistance Strategy. Supplement 1: The National Public Assistance System. Volume 2. A Compendium of Public Assistance Programs--Major Federal Cash, Food, and Housing Programs

摘要

The compendium of information about low income assistance programs is divided into four parts. Part One contains detailed information about the 59 major federally supported public assistance programs which are the focus of the report to the President. Part Two contains summary descriptions of 31 other federally supported grant programs, including some smaller means-tested programs and other grant programs which ordinarily do not require that recipients pass a means-test, but in some way target funds for areas or population groups regarded as low income. Part Three contains summary descriptions of 11 loan programs targeted for low income people. Part Four contains information submitted voluntarily by 33 states, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, about low income assistance spending not required to obtain federal matching funds.
