GuilfordWorks collaborated with The City of Greensboro’s Neighborhood Development and the Salvation Army to pilot a targeted housing and employment initiative called Welcome Home (Housing Opportunities Matching Employment). The goal was to create a sustainable model to move individuals/families from homeless to housed and connect unemployed/underemployed participants to meaningful employment. The program provided housing location and stabilization services to assist individuals in shelters to obtain permanent housing; training to enhance mobility to meaningful employment, and subsidized work experience at employer sites to build workplace skills that lead to sustainable employment. Maranda, a mother of three boys, was one of ten recipients of assistance from the Welcome Home initiative.
