Removing barriers t economic self-sufficiency.

Passport to Success provides employment development services to individuals who are
living in supportive housing and struggling with multiple barriers to economic self-sufficiency. The goal of this pilot project is to meet people at their level of need and provide them with an array of traditional and non-traditional services that will help them progress toward unsubsidized employment. Success is defined on a highly individualized basis.

Career Resources leads this collaborative project. Alpha Community Services provides case management services, the Bureau of Rehabilitation Services addresses the needs of participants with disabilities, and the Corporation for Supportive Housing is a
collaborator. These organizations work together to ensure that critical services are in place for program participants. Training is adapted to participants’ needs so that they
will succeed at the level of their own abilities and readiness, and progress toward employment and careers. The attainment of accomplishments along the way will be recognized, documented and rewarded. The Melville Charitable Trust funds this innovative project.
