Which program focuses on supporting single parents receiving public assistance with additional services beyond standard EOPS?

• A. CARE (Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education)
• B. CalWORKS
• C. DSPS
• D. Counseling / Advisement

Answer: (A)

The main idea is recognizing a program that specifically supports single parents receiving public assistance with extra services beyond what EOPS offers. CARE, Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education, is a California program built on EOPS services and targeted to single parents who are receiving public assistance. It provides additional supports tailored to the unique challenges these students face, such as child care resources, financial assistance, tutoring, and counseling, helping them stay enrolled and make progress toward their educational goals. CalWORKS is a welfare-to-work program focused on cash aid and employment services, not the campus-based set of enhanced supports for single parents; DSPS serves students with disabilities; Counseling/Advisement offers general academic guidance for all students, not the specialized CARE framework.
