St. Joseph the Worker

Let's talk about housing insecurity. 🏠 What does this mean? It means inadequate housing, frequent moves, couch surfing and more. With the soaring cost of rent in the Valley and most individuals living paycheck to paycheck, far too many are just a small financial burden away from losing the roof over their heads. Our Workforce Villages program is bridging the gap and empowering individuals on their journey to self-sufficiency. Our 90-day program offers full-time employed individuals a modern apartment and encourages them to save 70-80% of their income. But that's not all—we also provide personal finance and meal budgeting classes, equipping participants with essential skills for maintaining independence. 💪 Together, we can help individuals secure quality housing, reduce or even eliminate the need for government assistance, and lift up our entire community. 👉 Apply today: If you or someone you know is employed and struggling to find secure housing, apply now at https://buff.ly/49GglCe. 📝 👉 Support our cause: Interested in supporting this and other programs like this? You can donate at https://buff.ly/479DTNY and rest assured that $.91 of every dollar goes directly to these vital programs, allowing you to directly help our community. #StJosephTheWorker #SJW #Nonprofit #HousingSolutions #PhoenixHousing #EmploymentServices #TransformingLives #Donate
