Welfare Policy Research Project was established by the 1997 state legislation that created California's CalWORKs program. In response to one of our legislative mandates, WPRP is operating a research grants program to support applied welfare policy research sought by state and local officials. The findings from these research efforts are published as Briefs (short policy summaries) and Reports (in-depth research findings) that we have made available on this site.
