Women Work!'s 2008 State Displaced Homemaker Program Funding Update
In 2002, Women Work! conducted a survey of state displaced homemaker (DH) programs to identify trends in funding and administration. We have recently updated this survey to reflect information through the 2006-07 fiscal year. This update contains information about state funding levels, sources of revenue, and administering agencies. It also includes contact information for administrators of state DH programs.
