The Face of Homelessness
Summary
An individual or a family is experiencing homelessness when they lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence, such as those living in emergency shelters, transitional housing, or places not meant for habitation. The City of Houston and local non-profit organizations are making strides to get people off the street and start the process of obtaining permanent housing. A person experiencing homelessness can walk into any Workforce Solutions office and be referred to the coordinated access team to start the intake process. Sandy’s passion is to guide job seekers to reach their full potential by removing obstacles and tailoring strategies in today’s labor market. Workforce Solutions helps employers solve workforce-related business problems and area residents build careers, so that both can better compete in the changing worldwide economy.
