PPL has two referral-based programs for families participating in Hennepin County MFIP (Minnesota Family Investment Program):
Connections to Work
Connections to Work provides intensive case management for families facing the greatest barriers to self-sufficiency, where at least one household member has a disability or health condition which prevents full-time employment. Participants develop personalized goal plans for stabilizing their families through available training programs, services, and community resources.
Connections to Work serves more than 230 families a year.
ChangePoints
ChangePoints provides voluntary, short-term support to adults who have lost some or all of their public benefits due to nonparticipation. Participants receive help navigating systems to access available resources to help them overcome multiple barriers to employment and self-sufficiency.
ChangePoints serves approximately 300 families a year.
