Austin nonprofit connecting homeless population with stable jobs
“’I am getting to work with people just like me, fellow veterans, people who are going through the same thing I am going through who are coming off homelessness,’ Nelson said.
During his time spent cleaning up homeless encampments, he says he finds time to connect with the people and explains how TOOF can help.
‘It is a stepping stone, a jumpstart,’ Nelson said.
‘The workforce first program is an alternative work program where people experiencing homelessness are offered the opportunity to work in service of their community performing environmental cleanup,’ said Max Moscoe, who works for TOOF.”
