Iron County joined Project Zero in June 2000. No other program does as much for so many in terms of helping people make the transition from welfare to work.
Iron County has good reason to be proud.
Because they've developed strong community partnerships, more families are striving for self-sufficiency and achieving independence from the welfare system. Everyone involved deserves our congratulations. Project Zero began with six pilot sites in July 1996 and is currently operational at 104 sites in all 83 Michigan counties. Targeted cases are those open 60 days, required to participate in the Work First program and expected to have earnings. Project Zero is a cooperative effort involving state and local agencies, businesses and service providers.
