New York Welfare Program Under Intensive Study Under Crisis

New York City's large welfare program with 850 000 on rolls and 1 3 billion yearly funding faces an intensive review by federal, state, and local officials. Demonstrations by mostly Negro and Spanish speaking mothers pressed for more money and less red tape, prompting checks for every item on the state minimum standards. Organizations formed to unite recipients, while social workers faced higher workloads and staff shortages despite hiring.
