The Feasibility of a Conditional Cash Transfer Program in Pittsburgh

This policy paper recommends that Pittsburgh develop a small-scale pilot Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) program. My research examines the local dynamics of poverty in Pittsburgh, and critics the poverty reduction strategies currently utilized. An analysis of the political barriers facing a proposed CCT program in Pittsburgh is included, and a political strategy concerning the development of a local CCT program is presented.
