Abstract:
This report discusses how state policies have affected access to and participation in microenterprise training and self-employment for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipients involved in the "Microenterprise Development Initiatives for Welfare-to-Work" demonstration project, funded by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.
In addition, it recommends ways in which TANF law could be changed during reauthorization to encourage, or at least not discourage, states from providing support to microenterprise initiatives. The report is published by the Aspen Institute Microenterprise Fund for Innovation, Effectiveness, Learning and Dissemination.
