Jane is a 32-year-old single mother with a 5-year-old son and an 8-year-old daughter. She has supported her family by working 30 hours a week at a small local grocery store. Her job performance was excellent, but because of a decline in business, she was laid off. Now she needs to find a way to support her family. Her low-income neighbor-hood has very few businesses, and most of her neighbors subsist on small amounts of earned income and public social service programs.

Jane contacts her local family service agency for advice and direction. “My neigh-bor said I should come here. I just lost my job, and I have two young kids to support. My rent is due next week, and I don’t know what to do. Can you help me?” If Jane came to you, what would you do?
