Mission Statement
Inspired, strengthened and sustained by faith, the Interfaith Assembly on Homelessness and Housing is committed to confronting the unconscionable and unacceptable reality of homelessness in New York City. Recognizing society's shared responsibility and working as partners with those who have experienced homelessness, the Assembly will mobilize communities of faith to empower all people, to advocate public policies to eliminate homelessness, and to strive for the transformation of society.
Description
The Work-Site Internship Program provides men and women who have been homeless, have graduated from one of the Assembly sponsored life skill programs and have demonstrated a commitment to self reliance with an opportunity to secure meaningful employment. The Internship period begins with a two week intensive which approximates a real work environment. The intensive includes an on-site computer-training lab to assist participants in developing their computer-related work skills.
