Preface
This report is a follow-up to the November 1997 report prepared by the Community Action Network Welfare Reform Task Force, Welfare Reform in Austin/Travis County- Report to the Resource Council. In their 1997 report, the Welfare Reform Task Force recommended specific actions to address the impact of welfare reform.
