PROMOTE JOB PREPARATION AND WORK FOR FAMILIES PARTICIPATING IN THE ECSS PROGRAM

STRATEGIES:

• Provide Emergency Intervention Funds (non-recurrent, short-term intervention to deal with an individual crisis situation), to purchase supports and services for families.

• Develop collaborative linkages among employers, local leaders and organizations, and faith-based and nonprofit community groups so as to combine their resources and talents to create jobs, support work, and make low-income neighborhoods more viable.

• Encourage community investment in working families - particularly childcare and health care - with the expectation that such investment will yield results in helping families succeed in jobs and improve the well being of children.
