FACT helped parents with low incomes achieve financial and employment stability through a variety of supports. The main method was intensive case management to help parents set personal goals and, for those with an open child support case, to help manage child support payments. Participants also had access to workshops on healthy relationships, parenting, career assistance, and financial literacy during their enrollment in FACT. In addition, participants could access subsidized employment or transitional employment, therapy sessions, and legal assistance.

Twenty-four grantees offered the RExO program, including national nonprofits, faith-based community organizations, community health organizations, and local or regional nonprofits. The exact bundle of services each grantee provided varied significantly. In all programs, case managers coordinated service delivery and supported participants. Most grantees offered group mentoring for participants, and a smaller subset offered individual mentoring.

Program staff placed participants into competitive, integrated employment with the potential to become permanent. Participants were placed into the jobs for which they received training or similar positions, accompanied by additional training with the job coach. Participants also received job retention services to help them resolve difficulties that emerged in the workplace.
