Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative is sponsored by Department of Housing And Urban Development. The Jobs Plus program develops locally based, job-driven approaches that increase earnings and advance employment outcomes through work readiness, employer linkages, job placement, educational advancement, technology skills, and financial literacy for residents of public housing.
The place-based Jobs Plus program addresses poverty among public housing residents by incentivizing and enabling employment through earned income disregards for working residents and a set of services designed to support work including employer linkages, job placement and counseling, educational advancement, and financial counseling.
Ideally, these incentives will saturate the target public housing development, building a culture of work and making working residents the norm. The Jobs Plus program model comprises these three core components: Employment-Related Services; Financial/Rent Incentive – Jobs Plus Earned Income Disregard (JPEID); and Community Supports for Work. This listing is currently active.
