Despite a strong economy and the efforts of welfare-to-work
and workforce development programs, many welfare-reliant families have
not yet made a successful transition to employment, and others who have
not been on welfare have difficulties finding jobs. For some of these
families, a host of complex problems play a part, including substance
abuse, domestic violence, and physical, mental, and learning disabilities.
This "how-to" guide presents promising practices for identifying
and assisting these hard-to-employ people by distilling information and
lessons from relevant research and the experiences of rehabilitation,
clinical treatment, and welfare-to-work providers.
