The S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce (DEW) is proud to partner with @HNM_SC on launching their Connection Point! Homeless No More President Dr. Lila Anna Sauls and DEW Executive Director William Floyd cut the ceremonial ribbon at yesterday's opening, which was attended by community partners and public officials, including Mayor Daniel Rickenmann. Learn more about the event and hear from Director Floyd by watching WIS's coverage at bit.ly/47upU7D. Homeless No More's vital mission in the Midlands is to stabilize, shelter, and house vulnerable families, which aligns perfectly with the purpose of DEW's 150 Connection Points across the state in providing career resources and hands-on support to jobseekers from all walks of life. This includes those with barriers to employment, such as a lack of transportation, internet access, or housing. Organizations wanting to follow Homeless No More's example and start a Connection Point computer lab at their locations can get started by visiting dew.sc.gov/connectionpoints, while jobseekers can easily find their nearest Connection Point at scworks.org/centers. Congratulations to Homeless No More on becoming the newest Connection Point in South Carolina and on helping families access well-rounded resources to become financially stable, find careers, and rebuild their lives! #homelessnomore #scdew #connectionpoints #scworks
