Good idea, but something in the article irked me.
>The turnover rate for entry-level employees in the industry is around 50%. For the formerly homeless people hired through Shelters to Shutters–who may feel more loyalty to the job because of their circumstances–the retention rate is more than 87%.
>–who may feel more loyalty to the job because of their circumstances–
That's a blatant lie. Their home is directly tied to their job. That's the best explanation for retention.
edit: this is not a critique of the good idea of employing homeless.
- sandworm101 8y agoBut are they being employed? Are they paid money or just reduced rent? Housing is great, but people need cash in hand. And dont talk to the IRS about whether you have to pay taxes on that rent reduction.
