-
Between July 1, 1991 and June 30, 1993, Washington State's Displaced Homemaker Program (DHP) served a total of 55,363 individuals. The program's intensive instructional services component was completed by 2,496 eligible displaced homemakers, 84% of whom were aged 30-59. Of the DHP participants, 84% were white, 75% were separated or divorced, 79% had 0 to 2 dependents, 79% had a high school diploma or its equivalent, 55% received training, and 45% were placed in employment. DHP information/referral service costs and employment/training placement costs averaged $13.84 and $303.85 per person, respectively. The program focused on the following areas: reducing barriers to employment by informing participants of employment and training opportunities, making them aware of their skills and abilities, increasing their self-confidence, helping them clarify their employment goals, and teaching them job search skills. It was estimated that employment of the 1991-1993 program graduates will generate $3.6 million in state tax revenues in 1993-1995. The program's success was attributed to collaboration among diverse agencies and organizations. A longitudinal study of program graduates and increased funding to meet increasing demands for DHP services were recommended. (Appended are data on the budgets/expenditures and proposed/actual outcomes of eight DHP sites.) (MN)
