PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Phoenix-based UMOM New Day Centers is expanding its Homegrown program to now include workforce training for careers in warehouses and similar facilities. And that is something good!
UMOM, which provides services for families experiencing homelessness, initially launched as a culinary training program to provide clients with skills and experience to gain employment. Now those pathways are being expanded into other areas.
“Employment is one of the most critical components of long-term housing stability,” said Monique Lopez, CEO of UMOM New Day Centers. “By expanding Homegrown beyond the kitchen and into these other careers, we are opening doors to high-demand jobs that can truly change the trajectory for families rebuilding their lives.”
