People with steady employment are less likely to live in poverty and more likely to be healthy. Many people have difficulty finding and keeping a job, and people with disabilities, injuries, or chronic health conditions may be limited in their ability to work. Job assistance programs, career counseling, and affordable, high-quality child-care opportunities can help people find and keep jobs.
The Challenges We Face
How We Work
Research
We fund UNC Greensboro’s Eviction Data Project, which will create a complete, accurate, and up-to-date database of evictions in High Point, so that policymakers and advocates can deploy resources more efficiently and intervene where it is most needed.
Collaboration
The Foundation works with the Asset Funders Network to bring about a local funders network to support wealth building in neighborhoods.
Building Capacity
The Foundation provides capacity building support to The Barnabas Network to establish a physical location and warehouse in High Point so that it can provide furniture at no cost to people and families transitioning into more stable housing.
