This unit provides an array of professional social work services to include services for Work First recipients that will eliminate their need for public assistance in becoming and/or maintaining self-sufficiency, child/day care services for recipients working or attending school, and administering the crisis intervention program (CIP) to assist with heating and cooling costs. All of these programs are based upon the family size, income and need for services.
The Family Support Services Unit consists of four different sections:
