Despite claims that cities have experienced fiscal stress, aiztafiom other sources show that cities have enduredjinancial challenges by finding new revenue sources and techniques. An analysis of census data from 1967-2000 indicates that the pattern of municipal revenues has changed from reliance on property tares to greater reliance on charges. While revenues have outpaced expenditures, both revenues and expenditures have grown far more than would have been necessary to keep pace with inflation and indicate a worrisome trend toward borrowing. Howevec limitations of current data collection raise questions of validity. Data collection and reporting must improve if appropriate policy decisions are to follow.

“…The same can be said of other USDA safety-net programmes like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance programme. According to the 2010 US Census approximately 37% of male-householder families received some form welfare/government/social service support as compared to over 58% among female-householder families (Irving & Loveless, 2015 ). This may explain the scant research on the receipt of welfare by these male-householder families and particularly with experienced or perceived barriers.…”

Background: Evidence suggests that men can play a key role in influencing maternal health behaviours, potentially affecting birthing outcomes. However, that role may not be fostered in safety net programmes like the Special Supplemental Nutrition programme for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), a programme for which men do not qualify. Purpose: The primary objective of this research was to explore the experiences, expectations, and attitudes of men towards WIC. Methods: This qualitative study employed semi-structured interviews of couples recruited at Philadelphia WIC. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results: Eight couples completed the interviews (16 independent interviews). Among participating fathers, only two fully participated in WIC. Barriers to participation was the primary theme identified as participants shared challenges from multiple sources. Subthemes, including fears of coercion, masculinity, and the unacknowledged role of fathers illustrated that these barriers were both internal and external to WIC and in alignment with the framework of the social ecological model (SEM). Conclusion:These findings indicate that paternal involvement is limited due to numerous barriers, including those attributable to WIC. Future research should investigate these barriers and their intersectionality, as well as the appropriateness of WIC as an organization to foster paternal involvement.
