Description
We are joined by Heather Hahn, associate Vice President for the Urban Institute Center on Labor, Human Services and Population, to discuss the complexities and challenges of safety net programs in the U.S. Heather helps us probe into the history of these programs and the influence of traditional American values on their design. Wel look at the barriers that individuals, particularly those from communities of color, face in accessing these programs, as we reveal the inadequate nature of certain support systems like Medicaid, SNAP, and TANF and how they affect the needs of those they aim to serve.
