Displaced Homemakers

Per legislative rule (NDCC 14-06.01), the Regional Adult Learning Centers provide services to individuals who qualify as "displaced homemakers", an ever-increasing number of persons who have worked primarily in the home providing unpaid services to their family and now find themselves "displaced" through separation, divorce, death or disability of a spouse, or other loss of support.  As a consequence, these individuals are very often without any source of income and are sometimes ineligible for categorical welfare assistance.

The Adult Learning Centers are able to provide a wide variety of services that can help in many different ways. Students of the Displaced Homemaker Program (DHP) are privy to additional benefits not available to all students in the areas of academic support, career and college guidance, and other services to help displaced homemakers enjoy independence and economic security.

The 68th Legislative Assembly Executive Summary Report is now available. For a copy of the report, please contact the Office of Assessment.
