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.

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.

Health Service vehicles
vandalized
Five Indian Health Service ve
hicles were damaged by vandals June
23 or 24. The damage was discov
ered when employees came to work
June 24. Cost of damage is estimated
at $2,000. The vandals broke the
windows of the vehicles as well as
marred the paint by scratching initials
and vulgarities.
IHS officials are especially con
cerned about the damage because
most of the vehicles are used by the
doctors and nurses to make calls to
the hospital and to provide outreach
services to home-bound patients.
Two of the cars were less than a
month old.
' Anyone with information con
cerning the incident is urged to notify
the Warm Springs Police Department
or the Health and Wellness Center.
