There’s a cool government program that trains and gets people jobs. They give people Housing, Basic Medical Care, Meals, Books, an Allowance, Clothing, and a Network of instructors and peers.
It targets low-income young adults ages 16 through 24. Check it out, share it around to people who need it. It seems pretty unknown.
When I was young I knew a bunch of people who went into this program. It is under funded, relies on methodology that is known to not work, nothing changes about this because of the outside interests that influence it. Many of the people in it are people who were pushed there due to behavioral problems. These people need psych therapy, not a bare-bones vocational camp.
None of the people I know who went in, or any of the people they knew in it, left and found work faster without them.
