Our Backpacks 2 Success has now moved onto Upward Mobility with two individuals who reeived backpacks contacting us to join our self sufficiency program. Once joing our program these two individuals received all their identifications, obtained employment above $18.00 per hour and then we were able to help them obtain permanent housing with a lease in their own name. We partnered with our local Head Sheriff Garry McFadden to secure housing for one of the families which proved that we are stronger and more effective when we work together. These two clients will now enter our home ownership program where they will be eligble for up to $30k in down payment assistance to purchase their first home. It is our ultimate goal for our clients to build generational wealth to provide for their childrens children.
