Summary
Responding to new opportunities and new funding, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors adopted a Long-Term Family Self-Sufficiency Plan (LTFSS) on November 16, 1999. The LTFSS envisions 46 interrelated projects with the common goal of promoting sustained self-sufficiency for California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids Act of 1997 (CalWORKs) families, for former CalWORKs families, and for other low-income families in Los Angeles County. Five "headline indicators"--Low birth weight births, domestic violence arrests, annual income under poverty level, personal behaviors harmful to self or others, and teenage high school graduation-are being used to track each of the five outcome areas-good health; safety and survival; economic well-being; social and emotional well-being; and education/workforce readiness, respectively. This report presents estimates of the indicators for Los Angeles County, lays out a "baseline" trend for the indicators, describes the factors that have caused the baseline trends for the headline indicators to appear as they do-telling the "story behind the baseline," and provides forecasts for the five headline indicators.
