Abstract: Hawaii’s Food Stamp Employment and Training/JOBS Conformance Demonstration was in operation on the island of Oahu between November 1993 and September 1996. Its goals were:
- To maximize the employability of Food Stamp recipients and reduce Food Stamp dependency through improved consistency and coordination between the JOBS and Food Stamp Employment & Training programs.
- To coordinate across programs to reduce administrative and service costs.
- To enhance FSE&T services through the use of a new case management system.
- To add new barrier removal and family social support services.
- To expand emphasis on educational activities.
- To decrease program errors due to reduced complexity of and conflicts between program regulations for the FSE&T and JOBS programs.
The impact analysis was designed to address questions about client participation patterns, services and employment outcomes.
