Part II of the book considers the needs of the poor and how these needs are met through the implementation of federal and state policy. This section demonstrates that while programs may effectively become stop-gap measures preventing families from falling into utter destitution, they do not enable families to effectively leave poverty. Part III discusses the structures for advocacy in the legal system and the role of lawyers who represent the poor."--Back cover. 650 0 $a Poverty $z United States. 650 0 $a Poverty $x Government policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Public welfare $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 0 $a Legal assistance to the poor $z United States. 650 7 $a Legal assistance to the poor. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00995420 650 7 $a Poverty. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074093 650 7 $a Poverty $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074100 650 7 $a Public welfare $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01083290 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Clark, Sherri Lawson, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517011505.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8387258C8FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
