CareerForce serves people participating in the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP). MFIP helps families with children meet their basic needs, while helping caregivers move to financial stability through work. MFIP is a ‘work-first’ program; participants can be supported through more than one manner of assistance, which may include housing, food or other assistance.
