A consensus about the importance of fathers' caregiving role has been growing over the past three decades (LaRossa, 1988; Schoppe‐Sullivan & Fagan, 2020). Low‐income fathers, however, face significant barriers to meeting the caregiving needs of their children, let alone fulfilling the role of financial provider. Too many low‐income fathers may struggle with stable housing (Western & Smith, 2018), live in multiple households with multiple partners and children (Edin & Nelson, 2013; Guzzo, 2014), and have had experiences with the criminal justice system (Adams, 2018), all of which are detrimental to effective parenting. As a result, low‐income fathers tend to lack commitment to both their paternal identity and confidence in their parenting skills. These fathers can also experience difficulty in working together with the mother of the child, which has been identified as one of the strongest barriers to fathers' involvement in parenting (Carlson et al., 2011). Despite such obstacles, however, many of these fathers desire to support their children financially and emotionally (Randles, 2020).Because of the important consequences for children's well‐being, addressing the needs of low‐income fathers is crucial (McLanahan et al., 2013). For this reason, the federal government has funded several community‐based fatherhood programs as part of the implementation of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation
