Welfare Reform In New Jersey As It Relates To The Homeless

Abstract: 8 pages in length. Whether or not welfare reform has been beneficial to the state of New Jersey is not a question that can be answered with a simple yes or no. There are a number of variables that must be taken into consideration before an accurate assessment of such impact can be made. One positive aspect of welfare reform, also called the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996, has been that it has set a precedent for encouraging otherwise nonproductive members of society to become more instrumental in their own well-being. The writer discusses New Jersey welfare reform as it relates to the homeless. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
