Number Mania: Public Assistance Programs

Pick a public assistance program provided by either the Federal Government or the state of California. Your goal for this assignment is to find three facts that are number-based and related to the welfare program you chose. These facts can include dates, statistics, number counts, etc. 
Some Recommendations:
How much does the program cost per year?
How many people does it support?
To what extent does the program help people; look at economic indicators (How does it affect unemployment, life expectancy, poverty levels, homelessness, education access, etc.)
You will be making an infographic (images combined with your facts) in order to show us a representation of how the government tries to address the problems of wealth inequality and poverty in the country.

After finding your three facts, write a paragraph summarizing how the program works and what the goal of the program is trying to achieve.
