General Assistance clients, when turning in job search forms, were, in April, asked to complete a question naire concerning a wide variety of subject related to the GA program. The purpose of the questionnaire was to obtain information, directly from the GA recipients themselves, which could be used in the development of an approach to assist them in becom ing self-sufficient and off welfare. Sixty-seven questionnaires were completed, which represented about a 30 percent return of those recipi ents who are considered able to work. Those who completed the question naire indicated positive responses when asked to provide information. A majority wanted this information shared with the community. A summary of the information is provided below: 1. They do not like to go on Gen eral Assistance. 2. People only applied for GA when they had no other resources. 3. Most (a little over 92 percent) of the grant amounts are less than $400 per month. 4. While only 12, or 18 percent, have been on G A a year or longer, it appears that this number will increase unless there is a change in the focus and direction of the GA program. 5. Most respondents indicated they have two or more barriers to getting offGA. 6. Most respondents would par ticipate in a program that would help them get off G A and, they are willing to invest significant time (20 hours or more per week) in doing so. Commission awards-Continued from page 3 the community understands the im- Siact they have on the chldren and amilies of Jefferson County." The next project for the commis sion is to finish the comprehensive plan that is due in Salem by the end of July. Public input is encouraged. Anyone who wishes to participate in this planning process or desires more information regarding the Commis sion is welcome to call the office at 475-9426 or Jodi Eagan, chairperson at 475-3082. There seems to be a general atti tude within this and other communi ties that people on GA and other welfare programs are there because "they want to be there or just don't care . The survey definitely dispels this notion. People apply for welfare because they have no other resources and that road to self-sufficiency is blocked by two or more barriers, which include: access to reliable transportation, lack of education, training or experience, long-standing personal issues such as substance abuse, mental or emotional problems, abuse andor neglect problems and low self-esteem. Research has shown, and the Welfare Reform Act, has demon strated people with major barriers will remain on welfare until those barriers are removed and without some systematic approach to assist them most will remain on welfare. The positive information in the sur vey is that recipients want to be off welfare, they just can't do it on their own. What can be done to assist them will be the subject of scries of ar ticles to come. If you would like a full copy of the survey, please con tact Bob Jackson at 553-3368 or the GA office at the Commodities Food Warehouse between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
