HUD's Homeless Assistance Programs - Creating Community Employment Pathways

摘要

Most people who are homeless are capable of working and want to work. This has been shown time and again from demonstration and research projects such as the Job Training for the Homeless Demonstration project, the Ending Chronic Homelessness through Employment and Housing project conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), and the Next Step: Jobs initiative conducted by the Corporation for Supportive Housing. These same projects have also demonstrated that the needs of homeless people require services across any number of systems and that obtaining a job alone does not equal economic stability for this population.
