The Family Development and Self-Sufficiency Program helps families escape welfare dependence by helping them become self-sufficient. FaDSS specialists help families identify problems that are keeping them in poverty and help them develop plans to break the cycle of poverty. The program uses an approach individually tailored for each family. Participants are referred to the program from Promise Jobs and the Department of Human Services. People who live in our transitional housing units also agree to participate in the family development program.

Highlights from FY 2008 include:
  • 49 were employed
  • 49 families increased their income
  • 145 children, age zero to five, were current on immunizations
  • 101 children were screened for lead levels
