Strategies

Support acquisition of job-specific skills through education, certification programs, or on-the-job training, often with personal development resources and other supports

Provide rapid access to permanent housing and support (e.g., crisis intervention, needs assessment, case management), usually for chronically homeless individuals with persistent mental illness or substance abuse issues

Engage community members to determine how public budgets are spent, ideally to improve neighborhood conditions and reduce inequality.

Establish time-limited, subsidized, paid jobs to help individuals with barriers to employment transition to unsubsidized employment
