Abstract:
A community service employment program for TANF recipients--a program to create publicly funded, wage-paying jobs designed to provide employment for individuals and to address unmet community needs--offers a number of potential advantages as compared to other work activities. This paper describes for state legislators and administrators why such a program is both feasible and preferable over an unpaid work experience program under TANF.
