However, this just shows there is a relationship, but does not mean it is a causal one. We would like to deduce that New Hope’s intervention made a difference. But there may be reasons that could explain these differences. Reasons the sampling method, even initially well-thought and properly implemented did not answer through time. Table #1 shows that 71.6% of the full sample and 89.8% of the CFS sample were female, respectively 59.8/62.2 never married, 31.8/29.4 years old, 71/100 with children, and 62.9/80.7 received AFDC, GA, Food stamps, and Medicaid.

Random assignment process ensured that both groups sample’s characteristics (low income families, living in same areas, similar environmental context, etc.) are preserved and the control group members did not vary at the beginning of the study, which guaranteed that the only difference between both the treatment and control group was that the treatment group had access to New Hope. Consequently, any significant differences in outcomes that arise a course of the experiment (i.e., employment rates or children achievement) between the two groups can be ascribed to New Hope intervention. Finally, probable barriers to working such as drug abuse and/or mental health were not treated by the research, because New Hope was not designed to address such factors despites the potential impact these variables could had on the

Policy makers believe TANF is a “weakened safety net that does far less than AFDC did to alleviate poverty and hardship” (Center on Budget and Policy Priority, 2015). There can be a coincidence of a booming economy which is why TANF performed well, accrediting a positive correlation with the success of TANF. All of the declines in numbers policymakers originally witness have been steadily increasing, “…TANF reaches so many fewer families than AFDC did, it provides substantially less protection against poverty and deep poverty” (CBPP, 2015). Populations that TANF was created to protect by increasing independence.

I am absolutely positive that there are many women and children that are in need of programs like the free lunch program.

The historical event that transformed the social services and the social reforms we have in place today for children, all started with what is known as the orphan trains. The trains carried thousands of homeless and abandoned children to brighter futures and away from the forgotten slums of New York City. This unusual and very controversial social experiment sparked the concept of foster care in the United States then and still impacts today’s children.
