Item Life After Welfare: 2024 Annual Update(2024-12) Smith, Haley; Schuyler, Lauren A.; Passarrella, Letitia LoganItem Maryland's TANF Program: A Comprehensive Review(2024-10) Schuyler, Lauren A.; Garcia, Krysten; Smith, Haley; Passarrella, Letitia LoganThis report is the culmination of a two-year study of Maryland's version of the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program administered by the Maryland Department of Human Services (DHS). This study, initiated by a 2022 state bill, provides a roadmap for enhancing the program's effectiveness in supporting Maryland families. Researchers employed a mixed methods design that included administrative data, surveys, interviews, focus groups, and document reviews. This strategy allowed researchers to answer questions about program design, trauma-informed and anti-racist properties of assessment tools, equity in policy implementation and processes, use of evidence-based practices, and disaggregated outcomes. The final report includes 14 actionable recommendations for DHS, focusing on areas such as improving staffing, enhancing program equity, and weaving trauma-informed care into the program's design.Item Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: 2023 Jurisdictional Snapshots(2024-09) Gagliardi, Jessica; Passarrella, Letitia LoganThese state- and jurisdictional-level profiles complement the report on Maryland SNAP Households in 2023.
