New York City Human Resources Administration. This paper discusses the New York City of Human Resources Administration (HRA), which seeks to make work the central component in the lives of public assistance recipients. The HRA reflects a philosophical commitment to self-sufficiency, as it seeks to emphasize the essential role of work in the lives of citizens. Thus, the HRA is based on Conservative principles, which promote the values of individual responsibility and self-reliance. The HRA supports the concept of public assistance, but only on the assumption of reciprocal rights and obligations. 9 pgs. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
