Our Partners
"Welfare-To-Work – A Collaborative
Effort"
Many other state agencies and community organizations
work with DPA to accomplish our goals.
For example, the role of the child support enforcement
division is to help ensure that single-parent families receive child support
payments that will enable them to move towards, and to maintain self-sufficiency.
Service providers offer additional work service resources
and support to public assistance recipients. Their particular grant or
contract outlines the services they provide but all are employment-focused,
supporting and encouraging self-sufficiency.
DPA has developed specific outcome-based measurements
to evaluate the success of its welfare-to-work programs. Likewise, DPA
contractors and service providers must also meet specific performance
measurements as a condition of their individual grant or contract.
DPA Contractors
Contractors, also referred to as Service
Providers, provide work services to public assistance recipients in Alaska
under a grant or contract with the division of public assistance. They
play a crucial role in assisting recipients as they move towards self-sufficiency.
Each grant or contract is performance-based. Contractors
are required to serve a certain number of recipients referred by DPA and
place a certain percentage of recipients in a job or other work activity.
Types of services provided to recipients
include individualized case management, basic education, community work
experience, structured work search and job placement, post-employment
services, life skills instruction, and self-sufficiency services.
