Governor Corbett, Tom. "Learn About DPW ."Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare . N.p., 29 February 2012. Web. 14 Feb 2013. <http://www.dpw.state.pa.us/learnaboutdpw/index.htm>.
This is a website that helped me to understand what exactly the Pennsylvania Public Welfare does to help people who are of the lowest income. This website also gave me the most accurate numbers for the amount of people (2,766,182) who receive welfare and public assistance. These numbers helped me because it shows how big of an issue poverty is. Also it shows that because so many people are of the lower class and are raised with no choice but to apply for public assistance so that they can eventually raise in social class.

Web. 14 Feb 2013. <http://www.dpw.state.pa.us/ucmprd/groups/webcontent/documents/report/p_003047.pdf>. This website helped me to figure out if the poverty rate was decreasing or increasing. There is a graph on this website that I can used that states how many applications were received by the public welfare system. This website also shows how many people public welfare was able to serve( 2,145,056).Last this website show how much money was issued out to the families and individuals who were served($11,927,060,000).
. "Welfare Statistics." Statistic Brain . N.p.. Web. 14 Feb 2013. <http://www.statisticbrain.com/welfare-statistics/>.
This site provided me with information that will help me have a better understanding on how much welfare is proving for whom they are serving. This helps me because it helps me to tell people big of a roll public assistance is providing. This site also tell me statistics of how long people were on welfare the different statistics for each race and what percentage were on Public Assistance (Welfare).

This is a news article written based on information of the U.S Census. It states that Philadelphia is one of the poorest among the countries ten largest cities. This is something that shows that this issue show be brought up espically when it is further brought up that Philadelphia is only 2nd to Bronx, New York. Across the U.S one in every five children are victims of poverty. This is a very big issue because not all of those children and families will receive help that will help, if they will receive any help at all.

This site states how much of the Philadelphia area is made up of people who are victims of poverty. Also it talks about what affect poverty has on decision making. It States that people who are of this category tend to have higher amount of teenagers who drop out, or just do not pursue a reliable careers. 50% of teenagers were drop outs. This is bad and shows that children living in poverty life style loose hope and settle for what they know. I can use this information in my project to show how much of a problem this for not only citizens of the united states but also the future if the United States.
White,Marlene. Past recipient of Public Assistance. In Person Interview. Place of Publication: Publisher, 15 February 2013.
This gave me the chance to hear get facts and opinion from someone who has experienced being a recipient of Public Assistance and knows the pro’s and con’s of this system. She was able to speak from a personal experience. She was also able to speak about how to get off of public Assistance because she was one who was receiving assistance and overcame her challenge but she was also one who watched many people she knew stay on public assistance because it allowed them to enable them.
