Description: "The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996 (PRA) replaced Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) with Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), a block grant to the states. With its emphasis on children being raised in poverty by single mothers, the PRA has resulted in policies that were never intended to address the needs of children who are being raised by grandparents. This study focuses exclusively on grandparent-headed households where neither parent is present"--Executive summary.
