The rate of homelessness has been rising since 2017, with nearly 600,000 people unhoused across the US in 2022, according to a tally by the National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH). And while some experts argue that employment isn’t the only key to keeping people in their homes, an analysis from the Homelessness Policy Research Institute indicates that unemployment is “a prominent factor” in homelessness nationwide.
A University of Chicago survey found that 53% of those living in shelters in the US received employment earnings during the year they were observed, and 40.4% had some type of formal employment.
Frontier Co-Op, an organic food manufacturer in Iowa, recently began working with community organizations to recruit unhoused workers, creating job opportunities while also tapping into a potentially underutilized workforce.
Partnership approach. Megan Schulte, VP of human resources at Frontier Co-Op, told HR Brew that the company’s Breaking Down Barriers program works with a local homeless services organization to hire apprentices, starting the workers as contractors in an apprenticeship program.
Research from the NAEH has found that transportation is one of the barriers to good attendance for unhoused workers, so Frontier Co-Op provides shuttles to its manufacturing facility three times a day, five days a week.
