There are two programs serving adults 18 and older. The first is the Adult program. See eligibility section below. The second is the Dislocated Worker program, for those who have been laid off from employment through no fault of their own, and for Displaced Homemakers, who have not been in the workforce for some time while providing homemaker services to their families, but have lost their means of support.
