Transportation

Total Impact has agreed to provide WPW consumers with transportation to jobs, appointments, and other necessary locations.

Health

Many people leave incarceration without knowing what kinds of ailments  they have. Dr. John Pickett, MD of Eastern North Carolina, has agreed to partner with WPW to provide total medical care for returning citizens and veterans

Veterans

VetsBridge addresses the needs of our returning servicemen and servicewomen whose combat related experiences create serious obstacles for them when they return home and often result in unemployment, homelessness, mental illness, addiction and encounters with the civilian criminal justice system.

Statistics show that on any given night 40,000 veterans are homeless. They represent 11 percent of the homeless population. Some of the reasons veterans struggle with homelessness are post traumatic stress disorder, social isolation, substance abuse and unemployment. Statistics also reveal that hundreds of thousands of returning veterans returning from service and suffering from combat related PTSD, TBI and drug and alcohol abuse have encounters with the civilian criminal justice system with resulting prison sentences.

Job Training

When People Work is partnering with different companies, organizations and schools to provide training and certification for people in our program. We recognize our people may desire work that they have not had the access or opportunities to enter. We look to expand our partners to include jobs that our consumers will find most rewarding.

Job Placement

Coming home from incarceration or active duty and navigating the world outside can be quite a task. Most justice impacted people will have to pay parole fees. Others may have to pay restitution. All of this in addition to living expenses. Our returning citizens will be eager to contribute to family support and pay their own way, including their fair share of taxes.

To do these things, the person would need a job. Unfortunately, many employers will not hire a person with a criminal record. So, without a job, how do they begin rebuilding their lives as a law-abiding and productive citizen? Our consult team is experienced in supporting the justice impacted (adults and children), as well as supporting veterans, homeless and other underserved populations. Their passion is not only in training and upskilling their clients, but also on a human level to ensure that candidates’ wellbeing and mental state is good.

Veterans, when transitioning from active duty service, also talk about how difficult it is assimilating back into normal society. Some veterans mention having problems finding areas where they fit into civilian populations and among the civilian job force. They struggle with finding employers who will pay them meaningful wages. These are some of the reasons they say they feel depressed, anxious and out of place.

Our model provides training for jobs employers need to fill. Most significantly, WPW exchanges impact data with our government partners which carefully measures and quantifies the fiscal and social outcomes which benefit taxpayers, individuals and families.

As the need arises, we initially supply support to the employee by assisting them with such things as transportation to work, purchasing work clothing or uniforms, helping them with money for food so they will be able to have lunch on the job, and assisting them in complying with all conditions of parole.
