Horace Cooper<\/p><\/div>\n

Promoting a better deal for those receiving government assistance, Project 21<\/a> Co-Chairman Horace Cooper<\/a> showed support for Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson\u2019s proposal for welfare reform in an interview<\/a> with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As part of the Trump Administration\u2019s comprehensive efforts to reform the American welfare system<\/a>, Secretary Carson suggested increasing the contribution recipients make for their subsidized housing, making that amount based on gross income and streamlining the process for local housing officials to include work requirements in exchange for taxpayer assistance.<\/p>\n

In the article<\/a>, Cooper said:<\/p>\n

Part of what we\u2019ve been asking for is that we engage in a new round of welfare reform. We want to separate the needy from the greedy. Able-bodied people ought to be encouraged to become independent, then with the resources we have, we\u2019re able to better help those who can\u2019t help themselves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Project 21\u2019s support<\/a> for welfare reform can be found in its new \u201cBlueprint for a Better Deal for Black America.\u201d<\/a> It calls for enhanced welfare reform as part of a better deal on employment policy, and specifically<\/a> calls for work requirements to be attached to assistance programs such as the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP, or \u201cfood stamps\u201d).<\/p>\n

The employment policies<\/a>\u00a0of Project 21\u2019s Blueprint were released<\/a> on May 7. Other policy areas will be released weekly through July 9.<\/p>\n
