Evaluation: Colorado’s ‘Parents to Work’ deemed success

More and more, the child support program is realizing that one of the best ways to improve payment among low income noncustodial parents is to link them with job programs. But getting some parents to participate and succeed can be challenging. Parents to Work is an employment program for unemployed and underemployed child support obligors in Arapahoe County, CO, begun in March 2008. The project has a number of features that have been associated with success in other settings.
