This report describes results and conclusions of a third-party evaluation of a 1-year demonstration project in Alexandria (Virginia) to develop "safety nets" for 12 people with disabilities who were either unemployed or with a history of unemployment. An Employment Security Specialist worked with these individuals and their families to: (1) fashion an individual career development and employment security plan (safety net); and (2) identify, broker, coordinate, and assist in accessing and monitoring use of existing public and private services and resources. The evaluation reports major results in the areas of consumer development (nine consumers developed "safety net" plans); consumer choice and use of alternative activities and resources; and resource, staff, organizational, and systems development. It is concluded that the project demonstrated the value of such a planning approach for addressing career development and potential unemployment. The evaluation identified as areas of concern the supported employment funding and service delivery system, which does not currently support this type of activity, and the segregation of financing, planning, and delivery of supported employment services from other services. Attachments include a sample Individual Safety Net Plan, a resource list, guidelines developed for completing unemployment paperwork, and a report describing the essential elements of a competent supported employment service.
