The families who benefit include parents involved in the Family Self-Sufficiency
program (residents of public housing), Family Services Centers, Head Start
families, STEP-UP (13- to 22-year-old fathers), Young Families CAN (13- to
22-year-old
mothers) and School-Based program (students in grades 4 to 12 and their parents).
The participants' common goal is to support their families without welfare
and to become self-sufficient in the near future.
Last year, 355 families were assisted through the Adopt-A-Family Program.
