Describes the experiences of 240 early clients in Personal Preference, the state's cash and counseling demonstration. Notes that 76 percent were still enrolled at the time of the nine-month interview, 17 percent had dropped out, and 7 percent had died. More than 7 out of 10 cash recipients said the program's monthly cash grants improved their lives, and being able to choose one's own caregivers was the most commonly cited improvement.
