Historical Context

New York's extension of the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) registration deadline reflects ongoing challenges in welfare reform. Since the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA), programs like TANF have struggled to balance support for vulnerable populations with work requirements.
