The David and Lucille Packard Foundation Center for the Future of Children has found that public and private sector initiatives can produce promising approaches for helping to keep welfare recipients in employment. Lessons to be learnt from programs adressing job losses include simplifying access to transitional Medicaid and child care services, the importance of the personal attention of counselors, the importance of program flexibility and creative staff, the realization that leaving welfare is a process and not an event, and the possibility that reemployment help provided outside the welfare system may reduce returns to welfare. |
