The study identified programs serving the needs of migrant families and problems in improving services to more adequately address these needs. Exemplary programs were identified which were currently serving migrants through child care, health, education, and outreach services. The study included a literature review, a survey of 90 training programs, and mail and personal interviews with 800 migrant families and agencies in 12 states. The 12 states included major home base and user states, regions covering all 3 migrant streams, states with both large and small numbers of migrants, areas with long-established migrant populations and those with recent migrant activity, and states with major "settled-out" areas. Findings included: summer programs were the most effective Title I Migrant Education projects due to the lack of other programs during the growing season; the Food Stamps program was the only social services program significantly utilized by migrants; and migrant's access to social services was restricted by their own unfamiliarity with programs in each locale, community attitudes, and lack of transportation. Recommendations concerned the need for recognition of the migrant's special needs interfaced with Federal, state, and local program responsibilities and considered the complexity of social services provider systems, the need for coordination among them, and the structural alterations necessary for both short- and long-term change to enable migrant families to achieve full and self-sufficient citizenship.
