Absolutely Stimulating!

Chicago’s Dept. of Family and Support Services is one of the local channels for access to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Funds  –  Economic  Stimulus efforts.  SLM  will receive $270,000 in Stimulus funding through DFSS.  The Barlow Center will initiate its own transitional jobs program which will assist 40 individuals as they move to permanent employment.  SLM will develop a relapse prevention program to assist individuals as they continue their struggle to remain drug and alcohol free.  The ultimate goal of both new programs – solidly employed individuals.
