Displaced Homemaker Program

The Displaced Homemaker Program was established by the Florida Legislature in 1976. The program was implemented and operated by the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services until 1995 when the Legislature transferred oversight of the program to the Florida Department of Education, Division of Community Colleges. Additional changes to the program were made during the 2000 legislative session as part of the refinement to the state’s workforce development strategy. Current legislation, Chapter 446, Florida Statutes, provides for the Agency for Workforce Innovation to administer, operate, and exercise oversight of the Displaced Homemaker Program.

The Legislative Intent of this program is to provide the necessary and appropriate employment counseling, job training and education, and job search assistance that will result in self-sufficient employment for people displaced as homemaker
