Abstract

This article examines the life of New York food pantry clients in the aftermath of welfare reform and the Personal Responsiblity and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. The survey focuses on how the wages or benefits of ex-welfare recipients had changed between 1997-1999, and how welfare penalties or sanctions had impacted their quality of life.
