SonomaWORKS a Community Health and Welfare Program Evaluation

"SonomaWORKS: A Community Health and Welfare Program Evaluation" provides a comprehensive analysis of the SonomaWORKS program, which was evaluated in the late 1990s with the support of the U.S. Department of Justice. This program aimed to integrate long-term welfare-dependent families into the labor market by promoting both full-time and part-time job opportunities. The evaluation results highlight both successes and challenges associated with the implementation of social programs. The study examines the impact on participants' quality of life and the significance of employment for social integration. The insights from this study are not only relevant to the United States but also have international significance, as similar approaches have been adopted in various countries. This scholarly book is a valuable resource for professionals and students in the field of social sciences who are engaged in the evaluation of social programs and their effects on society.
