People with low-incomes face a great many challenges to overcome on their way to initial or continuous employment. Community action agencies across the nation work with their communities and their clients to ensure that eager employees have access to services and programs that help them overcome these challenges. By gaining access to skills training, education, quality childcare, reliable transportation, safe and secure housing, and utility assistance, job-seekers are able to overcome these barriers to climbing the ladders of opportunity available to them http://bit.ly/1FqDfJV #BeCommunityAction [image below]
