Displaced Homemaker Program

What is a displaced homemaker?

This program is offered to students enrolled in GED or EL classes.

A displaced homemaker is someone who has worked primarily in the home providing unpaid services to their family and finds themselves without income due to divorce, separation, abandonment, or death or disability of a spouse.
