“We are deeply grateful for this grant funding, which strengthens our ability to support returning citizens with the services they need to successfully reenter the workforce. By also addressing critical technology needs, this investment helps bridge gaps, expand opportunities, and empower individuals to build brighter futures for themselves and their communities,” said CMDC President, Britt Poole.
