A Study of Welfare Reform in Tucson Arizona
Development Studies
In 1998, BARA initiated A Study of Welfare Reform in Tucson Arizona through a small grant from the University of Arizona's University-Community Partnership Program, funded by the Kellogg Foundation. The projects seeks to understand the experiences, coping strategies and perspectives of women transitioning off welfare to work. The study aims to survey 400 women in Tucson who are currently receiving, or have in the past received, cash assistance. A sub-sample of 25 women will be followed ethnographically for a period of up to one year. This is a collaborative project between BARA, the UA Department of Sociology and a non-profit agency called Information and Referral Services.
