52:27D-289.  Findings, declarations
    The Legislature finds and declares that:

   a.   A major proportion of the publicly assisted population, especially in our urban centers, consists of families headed by single females who, with greater community support, could acquire or upgrade existing job skills;

   b.   Many urban women formerly dependent upon the income of another person and no longer supported by that income are not now being assisted by any urban-focused State program in enhancing their own employability; and

   c.   In many cases, child care responsibilities and lack of adequate information about existing community resources prevent women from utilizing those services which already exist.

   L. 1985, c. 189, s. 2, eff. June 20, 1985.
