New King County program connects homeless people to jobs and housing
“’Our new Jobs and Housing Program is one example of how we are sparking an equitable recovery throughout King County,’ Constantine said. ‘By connecting our unhoused neighbors with good-paying jobs and case managers who can help them transition to permanent housing, we are helping more people and families thrive.’
Successful candidates for the program can earn between $20 and $25 per hour for temporary positions and can receive housing supports. Program participants will also receive career support aimed at helping them transition to permanent jobs and permanent housing. The program helps people who have gaps in their employment history and potentially offers them professional references for future job searches.”
