Yesterday, March 10, the City of Reno's Reno Works+ initiative began a new session. To sustain this important initiative, the program is looking for donations.
The City says in order to build a bridge out of poverty, Reno Works is a 12-week job development program that offers educational opportunities and support services to people who are experiencing homelessness.
New this session, participants in this program will be transitioned from a homeless shelter to housing in the Village on Sage Street.
In addition to offering temporary work through community improvement initiatives including cleaning the river corridor, working in local parks, and maintaining public buildings, there are other courses centered on life and job skills.
The City says the program is now in need of funding to support upcoming groups.
