CalWORKs
1736 Family Crisis Center’s CalWORKs (California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids) program provides support to abuse survivors. The program helps families with children who do not have enough money for their basic needs because a parent is facing physical and financial hardships or has passed away. The person taking care of the children may not be able to pay for the family's food, rent, clothing, and other basic living expenses. The main objective of 1736 FCC is to help clients obtain employment and live independently.
Los Angeles County families receiving CalWORKs are referred to the agency by their GAIN worker. Case management services provide clients the supports needed to navigate services, including job development, legal and mental healthskills-based therapy services. Clients are linked to employment staff members who assists them with obtaining employment, working one-on-one with the client to create a resume, develop a career profile, and practice job interviewing. Staff attends job fairs with clients and conduct outreach with the service center supervisor, to establish relationships with employers and facilitate job opportunities. Legal and skills-based therapy services are provided internally as needed.
