This new report, the first of two to be produced as a part of the Welfare
Policy Reform Project, focuses on the results of a statewide survey of
each welfare office and workforce agency in California. The survey collected
information on the type and scale of job retention and advancement services
provided to welfare recipients in each of California’s 58 counties.
The survey found that the counties have implemented a wide variety of
programs focused on job retention and advancement, although many remain
small and struggle with participation rates, particularly among former
welfare recipients who are not mandated to participate in services.
