“I went from being a single mom taking care of a baby trying to survive to reconciling with my family, no longer needing to live off the system. Thank you SBWIB, DPSS, and the GAIN program, my new life would not be possible without any of you.”

“Thank you for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to work at the courthouse. I love my new job.”

“I don’t think I would have been able to take the steps needed to get back into the workforce. I was very nervous to face this process again, but I did it with their help. I applied for the first job he sent me and a few days later – I got the job, I was so happy!"

"The E-TSE Program is truly an amazing experience. Through the program I was able to re-enter the workforce, using my previous experience and getting hands-on training in a job setting where I feel comfortable. It allows me to re-learn how to perform in a work environment and how to handle stress, manage my time, and communicate well with others. It also gives me the opportunity to connect with resources that will help me with permanent housing. As someone who is coming off the streets, this program is helping me to achieve a better life for me and my family."
