Good jobs are a critical component of any person’s journey to recovery, re-entry, and habilitation! We're excited to share that the South LA All In “Good Jobs, Healthy Communities” (SLAAI-GJHC), a project we are partnered on, has been awarded $20 million in federal funding from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The SLAAI-GJHC project, led by Coalition for Responsible Community Development, will train South LA residents to develop pathways to good-paying jobs! "As an organization focused on the safety, healing, and longevity of historically underserved communities in South Los Angeles, we are excited to put this EPA grant to work providing good jobs to those who — as currently and formerly incarcerated individuals — would otherwise struggle to find employment," says Amity Foundation CEO Doug Bond. Thank you to the Biden-Harris administration for your continued investments in the communities we serve.
