Current projects, funded by the Maryland
Department of Human Resources, include a spatial analysis of job accessibility
for Temporary Cash Assistance recipients in Baltimore City, the development of
job entry and success in the work force performance measures for the TANF High
Performance Bonus competition, and an evaluation of the differences between 1990
Census and Administrative data in measuring the number of children in poverty in
Maryland. The Jacob France Institute is participating with the
Chapin
Hall Institute for Children at the University of Chicago and the
National
Institute for Children in Poverty at Columbia University in a three year
study funded by the Department of Health and Human Services to examine patterns
of child care subsidy use and explore the effects of that use on welfare and
employment outcomes among current and former welfare mothers. Last year, Jane
was project manager for a series of surveys of former TCA recipients in Maryland
examining receipt of benefits by former recipients.
Jane has worked as a researcher, project manager
and assistant director in the area of human services since 1990. At the
Institute for Business and Economic Studies (later the Regional Economic Studies
Program) at the University of Baltimore, she was responsible for managing the
Institute’s contracts with the
Maryland
Department of Human Resources (DHR). Projects conducted under these
contracts included research into the causes of changes in the Aid to Families
with Dependent Children (AFDC) caseload in Maryland, and the development of a
model to forecast the AFDC caseload. The Institute provided technical assistance
to DHR as it prepared for welfare reform, including a study of means-tested
programs in Maryland, preparation of the DHR Fact Pack, and development of a
cost policy model to estimate the impact of reform on caseloads and costs, and
to assist local departments of social services in managing their Family
Investment programs. From 1996 to 1998, Jane was Assistant Director for Human
Services at RESI at Towson University.
Before coming to Baltimore, Jane worked as an
economist and policy analyst in banking and consulting in New York City and for
the State of Illinois’ Economic and Fiscal Commission.
Jane has a Masters degree from the School of
International and Public Affairs at Columbia University and a Bachelor’s
degree (magna cum laude, phi beta kappa), also from Columbia University.
