Summary

FACT provided financial and employment services to parents with low incomes, with the overall goal of increasing family economic stability.

FACT helped parents with low incomes achieve financial and employment stability through a variety of supports. The main method was intensive case management to help parents set personal goals and, for those with an open child support case, to help manage child support payments. Participants also had access to workshops on healthy relationships, parenting, career assistance, and financial literacy during their enrollment in FACT. In addition, participants could access subsidized employment or transitional employment, therapy sessions, and legal assistance. Some also received supportive services such as transportation, work clothing, or referrals to health and housing services. Participants were eligible to receive case management for up to three years after leaving FACT. The program took place in Contra Costa County, CA.
