Webinar: Lessons from the Work Support Strategies Initiative
Work Support Strategies (WSS) supports six diverse states (Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, North Carolina, Rhode Island, and South Carolina) to put in place improvements in front-line practice, systems, and policies to increase the share of families that get and keep all the work support benefits for which they are eligible. The purpose of this webinar will be to share lessons from WSS about the opportunities for low-income families that arise through integration of SNAP, Medicaid and child care and through streamlining delivery systems for these programs.
This webinar was organized by the Coalition for Access and Opportunity, of which CLASP is a co-convener.
