“This initiative will also provide life and career coaching and help with transportation to and from work.
‘We have the funding to be able to support that so it could be bus pass, it could be help paying for car insurance,’ says Cannon. ‘We’ve seen folks live out in akron and need to come here, but having trouble paying car insurance so it’s really all the social determinants is what we’re addressing.’
The program promises a salary boost.”
