Abstract
Abstract Responsiveness to family change requires more than attention to income, workplace adaptations, and family ]aw. It also requires a wider range of supports for improved quality of life (health care, child care, and housing) and special help for families and children with special needs (Supplemental Security Income, child welfare, and nutrition). The programmes grouped in this chapter make little claim for coherence, but they do constitute a significant and distinctive component of family policy. Historically, these programmes were in the province of state and local government and private agencies but since the mid-l960s have increasingly involved the federal government, usually though not always working through or sharing with the lower tiers.
