This guide contains information about academic support services available to single parents, displaced homemakers, and single pregnant women at community, junior, and technical colleges throughout Texas.

Some program descriptions feature one or two effective activities, whereas others present generic information on the various programs on a given campus. Included in the program materials is information on the following types of available services: child care, skills training/tutoring, transportation, counseling/advising, support groups/mentoring, textbook loans/libraries, job readiness, placement, housing, seminars/workshops, sample forms/brochures, scholarships, referral/linkages, recruiting, newsletters, assessment/evaluation, recognition/articles, and alcohol/drug awareness.

Perkins Acts of 1984 and 1990 are included along with information on the following: Displaced Homemaker Network, Job Training Partnership Act, Texas Department of Human Services, Texas Employment Commission, Texas Rehabilitation Commission, and Women's Bureau.
