Dr. Monica Faulkner explores TANF and Head Start in Puerto Rico in this literature review. With almost half of the population in poverty and vast proportions of the island immigrating to the United States for better prospects, Puerto Rican children and families are struggling. This literature review provides a chronology of public assistance and poverty in Puerto Rico, summarizes the information available for two programs which offer support for families in poverty, and identifies directions for future research.
