Other Homemaker Services
Homemakers are also eligible to receive the same services that we offer to people who have been laid off from their jobs, known as the Dislocated Worker Program.
Although there is overlap between the two programs, the Dislocated Worker Program does offer some unique services, including occupational skills training, on-the-job training, entrepreneurial training, adult education and literacy, job readiness training, and customized training.
Depending on the circumstances, funding may be available to cover the cost of tuition, books, fees, and other educational expenses. Training can be up to two years.
In limited cases, financial assistance for transportation, child care, health care, housing or rental assistance may be available.
Ask about the Dislocated Worker Program at your local CareerForce location.
See the policy about Co-Enrollment in the Dislocated Worker Program and MN Family Resiliency Partnership (MFRP) - federally known as Displaced Homemaker Program (DHP).
