Shawn, I attended the Northside Job Connection first anniversary celebration and had an opportunity to talk with some of its participants. My impression is that this is a truly innovative and solid program. Rather than referring their clients to other agencies for some or all of their needs, NJC works with each individual to be sure their needs are met, whether that need is for equipment to get a job, to find a home or to get a drivers license. The people who run the program are caring people who have done an excellent job. I think everyone in the room was deeply touched by the true stories of the participants.
