Abstract: STEDEP is a demonstration evaluation designed to rigorously test innovative subsidized employment strategies aimed at successfully transitioning individuals in several low-income target populations from short-term subsidized employment to unsubsidized employment in the regular labor market. The project will begin with an exploratory phase to obtain feedback from program administrators and staff; researchers; and policymakers about strategies they believe are worth studying, in terms of effectiveness and impact on families and individuals. ACF is interested in getting assessments and educated opinions on the most important types of strategies that should be tested around the country within the context of current TANF policies and requirements as well as recent efforts under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
