DHHS, Administration for Children and Families (ACF)

This report contains the proceedings of a meeting held November 18-19, 1999 on the Administration for Children and Families' (ACF) Employment Retention and Advancement grant program. Attending the meeting were representatives from the ACF, 12 of the 13 states that received grants for the Employment Retention and Advancement project, The Lewin Group, the Manpower Demonstration Research Corporation along with other staff from the Department of Health and Human Services, researchers, and members of the welfare community. The purpose of the meeting was to share information on each state's demonstration plans and to engage in working sessions that would help each state further define these plans.

"Throughout the engagement, Lewin consultants listened to us and delivered superb analyses and thoughtful guidance–not canned solutions."  NONPROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM
