Description
The premise of diversion is that on-going cash assistance is not always the best way to meet the financial needs of at-risk families and if other, more appropriate aid can be provided, their need to become welfare users in the traditional sense may be obviated. This study describes the characteristics of 4,219 families diverted from Maryland's TANF program, the extent to which diversion is used, and outcomes from this new program.
