President Trump recently released an executive order, “Reducing Poverty in America by Promoting Opportunity and Economic Mobility,” designed to guide agencies that administer public assistance programs to effectively reform the welfare system. The executive order is essentially a statement of principles by the president. The proposed work requirements are non-binding and, in the case of housing programs, would require Congressional action to implement.
