Chart Book: TANF at 15

In last week’s four-part series from LaDonna Pavetti, we highlighted the 15^th anniversary of Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) – which was created under the 1996 welfare reform law – by examining what it was accomplishing, where it was falling short, and how policymakers could strengthen it.

Here’s a chart book based on the series.

All four posts in the series:

• TANF at 15, Part I: How Well Does It Provide Income Support for Poor Families?
• TANF at 15, Part II:  How Have States Spent Their TANF Dollars?
• TANF at 15, Part III:  What Is TANF’s Record of Success?
• TANF at 15, Part IV: Looking Ahead
