CalWORKs
El programa CalWORKs (California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids) del 1736 Family Crisis Center brinda apoyo a las víctimas de violencia doméstica. El programa ayuda a las familias con niños que no tienen suficiente dinero para sus necesidades básicas porque uno de los padres está desempleado, discapacitado, no puede cuidar a los niños, está en la cárcel o ha muerto. Es posible que la persona que cuida a los niños no pueda pagar la comida, el alquiler, la ropa y otros gastos básicos de subsistencia de la familia. El objetivo principal de 1736 FCC es ayudar al cliente a superar las barreras al empleo debido a la violencia doméstica y obtener un empleo para que pueda vivir de forma independiente.
