One of the things that was just said in this story is that sometimes, when people are counting numbers, they're trying to channel them in certain categories which don't account for the reality of what's really going on. Well, certainly, and I think there's a number of people throughout the county that are coming off the welfare rolls and throughout the state that are being overlooked. When you look at some different case studies, you can find a number of people who are facing a number of additional barriers, that are having trouble complying with different welfare requirements. I actually don't know the statistics for that. I think your average case is a single mother with two children, not being able to make ends meet, frequently not receiving child support.
Child support is actually one of the additional barriers that is being identified right now.
I think it depends on the individual. Other barriers that are possibly cited are mental health and substance abuse problems. Right now, the county actually contracts with the Center for Families and Children with a program we have that's called Cleveland Cares. So, if a self-sufficiency coach at the county level thinks that mental health or substance abuse might be a problem with an individual, they're referred to our program, and we assess them as to whether this might be a problem with them, and then refer them to a treatment program. Well, it can be.
