From the Paper:

"The welfare system in the United States is currently in disarray, which has created numerous problems for those individuals that depend upon this program as a means of income and sustainability in a complex society. Recent indications demonstrate that there are challenges that must be met in terms of welfare-to-work programs, which demonstrate many weaknesses that require additional resources and new strategies to overcome in an effective manner. Welfare-to-work problems reach beyond the expected, as they reflect problems with the work process as a whole (Coulton, 2003). Causes of the Problem. One of the key problems that has triggered weaknesses in this system is the lack of funding for these programs; however, recent indications of increases in government funding for these programs is likely to provide benefits (Davis, 2005)."
