Undo Kalenik•Director

(707)565-5252 Fax the enclosed report documents our progress in implementing SonomaWORKS,
our local welfare •reform program. The strength of our local economy and the
EMPLOYMENT 8 TRAINING DIVISION
lery Dunn,Director collaborative efforts of all of our partners is,reflected in the-significant reduction

increase in connection to the labor force among those who..have left the rolls as
FAMILY,YOUTH L'CHILDREN S DIVISION well as those receiving supplemental aid is•e ncouraging.
Carol Sauer.Director .
(707)565-439.0 However, by complete. Significant •
(707)565-4399,Faz , our '-task is b no means com lete. Si nificant issues remain to be
addressed, including the need for affordable housing, transportation and childcare.
While our long-term goal is full self-sufficiency for families, the economic reality
is that more support is needed for low income working 'families. Continuing
Medi-Cal, Food Stamps and childcare subsidies are helping families make the
transition from welfare to work. We are making every effort to insure that all
families who qualify continue to receive these benefits.
A study underway by the Sphere Institute will provide us with more information
to determine how those families who have left•assistance=are faring. It will also
give us increased information on those families who are subject-fo reductions in
aid (sanctions) for non-participation.
With TANF•reauthorization by Congress just around the corner, maintenance of
federal and state fundingilevels so that we can stay the course is critical. I look
forward to working with you toward that end.
Sincerely,
