Current Narrative:
To ensure that all services are focused on the customer’s needs, services are provided through a case–management approach. Services received may include: basic and individualized career services, training services and support services including emergency assistance. Key issues negatively impacting this popula–tion are lack of education, poverty, unstable employment, access to housing, transportation and healthcare and limited English proficiency. Individuals who have earned more than 50% of their income from agricul–tural labor are encouraged, along with their dependents, to apply for services.
