CREATE ·2024 Grants ChallengeAmityWorks Employment Services
For individuals with a history of homelessness and/or incarceration, reentering the workforce is a challenge due to lack of opportunity, time away from the labor market, and having a criminal record. To address this, Amity launched AmityWorks employment services to engage low-income LA County residents (adults age 18+) in vocational training leading to employment. Amity is a potential employer for trainees and intentionally recruits from the pool of training graduates.
