What is the Self-Sufficiency Program?

The Self-Sufficiency Program is designed to assist individuals and families who are committed to achieving economic self-sufficiency through work and educational participation. Individuals and families who are enrolled will receive assistance with reaching their overall goal of becoming self-sufficient through skills and vocational training, employment preparedness and education support. Upon completion, the application will be place on our program’s waiting list, and will be processed in the order by which it was received.

Upon program vacancy, the applicant will be contacted from the wait list to schedule an in office appointment. If it is determined that further information is required. It is the responsibility of the applicant to respond and / or provide the information within seven (7) business days of notification; otherwise the applicant will be removed from the waiting list.
