Question

(3) In our class on Health & Human services, we will look at the state of poverty in the states, and 5 of the major safety net programs that are intended to provide assistance to those in need. What programs should be revised to meet the gaps, as we have identified in the safety net programs?

Answer 1

Answer: There are many programs that are currently running under safety net. I took 5 programs out of it as below: Negative Income Tax SNAP - Supplemental Notional Food Assistance Program Pell Grants Child Care Job Training These are some of the programs that are running and spending on these programs have not changed or reduced in last couple of years. These showcases that either government is planning to come up with alternative and close down this program or the program are not effective and thus low budgets are allotted every year To address that the programs work, a system should be developed with the help of technology that provides direct benefits to the citizens without any mediators and thus it will be more effective and reaching to the actual needy people. Also paying up to any of the organization for executing these projects should be based on their performance validation only until then that organization should not be paid for the same. So this way it will bring clarity and effectiveness in implementation.
