Description
Counties use family and preventative service programs both to help families exit welfare and to prevent families from entering the TANF program or other systems. Many issues affect a family's ability to become (or remain) self-sufficient. Services provided through these programs are part of the holistic approach counties take towards helping families achieve long-term self-sufficiency and preventing welfare dependency in future generations.

Description
In Colorado, the Employment First Program goals are to (1) get people to work and (2) reduce individuals' dependence on public assistance. Progress toward these goals is measured by the number of job placements, number of individuals successfully completing an education component, and the number of sanctions imposed for failure to comply.
