Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative

Jobs Plus Pilot is a locally designed program implemented in a collaboration among local housing authorities, residents of public housing developments, local welfare agencies, local workforce development agencies, and other relevant partners.

It is aimed at significantly increasing employment
and income of public housing residents.

The program provides intensive, employment-focused programs targeting every able-bodied, working-age welfare recipient at a public housing development.

The place-based Jobs Plus Pilot program addresses entrenched poverty among public housing residents by saturating developments with job and career support, community building, and rent-based work incentives.

This program helps residents of public housing increase their earnings through on-site employment-related services, financial incentives, and community support for work.

The Jobs Plus Pilot program consists of the following three core components: Employment-Related Services, Financial Incentives, and Community Support for Work.
