regulations, welfare-to-work activities, and other problems that can be
obstacles to obtaining the education, training or counseling a parent needs
to prepare for self-sustaining employment. We also train community-based
organization staff members at no charge concerning welfare-to-work rules
and other issues faced by low-income families as they try to reach self-sufficiency. ^ Back to top |
